The Vizio uses HDMI v 1
HDMI 2.0 wasn¡¯t introduced until 2013. It supports 4K resolution.
HDMI 1.x, at it¡¯s best, never supported 4K resolution.
HDMI 1.4, the highest iteration of HDMI 1.x, wasn¡¯t introduced until 2009. So your Vizio might not even support HDMI 1.4. It might not even support 2K.
My earlier point to Bob was that if you have a recent Mac, and a recent monitor, things are fairly simple. They get a lot more complex if you have an old monitor and/or an old Mac. In fact, since DisplayPort was more advanced than HDMI for a bunch of years, if you have an old computer and/or an old monitor, you may not want to connect them via HDMI. Another input, if available, might give better performance.
