1080p videos lag on 4k monitor?

[ayyyyZJ]

hey guys, just got a 4k monitor and theres one problem i just cant figure out how to fix. videos buffer and stutter, a lot. im not talking about 4k videos, im talking about 1080p and 720p videos. for example, when i try to watch a twitch clip in 1080p, the video and audio will not be synced, or the video will stop while the audio keeps going. when i switch to my 1080p monitor, the problem is gone. any ideas on whats wrong? i would get if my wifis slow, but its pretty fast (70-90mbps) and it doesnt have any problems on my 1080p monitor. thanks!

Is this happening just with twitch, or on games too?

well in other words, is it only happening in twitch or while you do other things as well?

with all videos in chrome, its probably 50% that buffer, youtube has around 70% that buffer, and twitch lags 100% of the time. nothing else really glitches, thats not a video on chrome.

Can you try forcing the monitor into 1080p and see if that changes anything?

i only tried on a twitch clip, but it lagged the same way, tried it on my 1080p monitor, and it didnt lag at all (refreshed the page before i switched monitors)

Try a different cable, and then try different ports if that does not work. Other then that, idk.
