Problem with external display 4k@60hz on macOs Mojave

I'm experiencing a problem with my external display which is 4k LG display.

I'm using MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2017), Processor: 2.8 GHz Intel Core, Memory: 16 GB 2133 MHz LPDDR3, Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 630 1536 MB

To connect to the external display I'm using USB-C to HDM dongle from Belkin.

When playing with the settings I managed to get it working at 1920 x 1080 60hz for resolutions larger than that I get only 30hz non retina.

Example on what I'm getting when trying to use it at 60hz

MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2017), macOS Mojave (10.14)

Thank you for your input. You are right, I guess we will have to wait ... I will write to Belkin so they are aware ( if they are not already ) but in the mean time. I went out and bought UCB-C to DisplayPort and now I'm able to use my monitor without a problem.

You should write an email to Belkin, because it seems their adapters are not optimised for Mojave. I have an adapter from Delock USB-C to DVI 4K30hz and it's only showing a green monochromatic picture. Delock answered me saying their products do not work on Mojave (yet?). No idea from which side the solution may come. Apple with a future update of Mojave or the adapter companies with some kind of firmware update for their products. We'll have to wait it out, I guess.
