Hi,
With everyone self isolating and working from home, I was trying to connect my 2014 MacBook pro to my 4K Sony Bravia TV. I get a picture ok, but only 1080p not 4K.
I know it's not the cable or TV port because when I connect a Raspberry Pi4 to the same cable and TV Port I get a 4K picture.
I have tried all the Mac display ports but all of them only display a 1080p picture.
Any advice grateful received
MacBook Pro 15", macOS 10.15
Try extended desktop mode and set the external display to the tv's native resolution. If you are using mirror mode then the computer's display resolution is also mirrored.

Sorry forgot to mention.
Yes the setup is in mirrored mode and the TV has it resolution set to default for display but I only get 1080p
On About this Mac, the TV is shown as being 3840x2160 driven by the NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M card.
I can get 4k by using scaled, but I don't understand why it's not the default.
