SAMSUNG M7 4k stuck at 30hz with macbook air M1

I've a macbook air M1 and I've also a samsung M7 and it don't let me select 60hz as a refresh rate maximum 30hz in all resolutions except the smallest one it's 1280 x 720 I think ( which I'll never use )

I tried my widnows laptop and it's the same issue too but only while on 4K resolution, while on 1440p ( 2K ) it works on 60hz

so I want to make sure if it is the cable I can by HDMI 2.0 one but It's weird that this cable with samsung monitor is not 2.0 ?!

Mac mini, macOS 14.0

M1 Max MBP not allow 60hz on 4K monitor (80hz max capability) Hey folks, I've been struggling with refresh rate issue. My M1 Max MBP won't allow 60hz on my AOC 4K monitor, which has a 80hz max refresh rate. The monitor model is U2790PQU (https://eu.aoc.com/en/products/monitors/u2790pqu). I've got 2 new cables to try and still no luck, including a high end cable at 8K@60hz. Any idea how to fix this? Appreciate your help!

Mac Mini M1 HDMI output Hello there! I hope everyone is fine! Recently I bought a Mac Mini M1. I have a LG 27GN880 which is capable to display 2560x1440 at 144hz. After I setup the Mac with the monitor I realized that the display runs at 100hz max. I thought all right maybe I need another HDMI cable. I bought one, there's no improvement. I have an USB-C to DisplayPort cable as well, it can deliver 144hz. According to the specs I don't know why the HDMI can't work at 144hz. Can anyone please help me with this? Thank you for advance!

Samsung Viewfinity S9 Mac Mini M4 connection The connection with the supplied thunderbolt cable after a week of regular operation the connection is lost, and the monitor goes to Home without being able to work anymore. I bought a better quality cable (?) that worked for a while then, again, no more connection. I bought an HDMI mini DP adapter and with this it works but only in 4K or lower resolutions... Are there any specific drivers?
