I don't know what adapter you would need to achieve 4K @ 60 Hz or if it's even possible with your laptop. That might be something to ask Lenovo. You shouldn't have to use CRU if the hardware supports 4K @ 60 Hz.

I Agree with you (that I shouldnt have to use CRU for something that should work out of the box), but since it is a work machine, I am not too keen on spending (more) money to experiment which dock/dongle/hub is the best alternative (probably one from lenovo). But as home office is a reality for god knows how long, I am trying to have the best "work experience" possible. In hindsight I should probably have bought a 1440p monitor.

I have contacted lenovo, and they say that I have to talk to my company because some things like driver versions are updated by the company rather than manually by the user or automatically by the vendor. I tried updating manually but it didnt work. anyway , the last driver version I have is from January 2020, so, not old enough that it should be an issue.
As for if it is possible, the laptop user manual says it should be. (but only using the usb-c/thunderbolt port. not the embedded hdmi)

by testing the upper limits I could get (using a displayport cable on my dell usb-c dongle) 54hz. Since every other piece of equipment of mine works as intended (4k@60Hz in my personal computer using the same monitor and dongle) I think I will be satisfied by that. It still itches the back of my head, but at least its not bothering my eyes (I think europeans had 50hz on their screens back in the day, so its probably fine to work).

once again thanks for providing this amazing application, and for answering on such short notice.
