    Hi,

    I was looking at the UX333FA/FAC to buy as my new notebook and would like to know what are its options for display output.

    For what I've read online, it does not support UHD resolutions at 60 Hz through its HDMI port, which is understandable as it is 1.4 only. The manual for the UX333FA model says it supports DP through its 3.1 Gen 2 port:
    But the manual doesn't say anything in particular, doesn't tell the modes available. In short, there is no spec sheet in the appendix. The tech specs don't mention anything at all in particular either.

    Does anyone know (if UHD@60Hz is available)? It has everything I want and need in a notebook, except for that.

    Thank you.

    USB-C with DisplayPort supports at least the 1.2 standard, which allows for 4K/60. You would need either an adapter or, better, a dedicated cable, which should be available for $10-$15 on Amazon, but it should work fine.

    Sorry about that. You're right.

    But I was the one who got it wrong. The manual says (in a previous page) that the port with DisplayPort is for the 15" model only. It is not listed for the 13 or 14 inches models. I downloaded it on the ux333 page and didn't notice the manual is for all those models.

    It looks like it doesn't support 4k@60hz after all.

    Thank you for your input.
