      Will pfSense install and work with a 4k monitor as the display via DisplayPort?

      I have a 4k monitor that is hooked to my main computer, and I would like to use a spare input on the monitor for pfSense router. That way I don't have to get another monitor just for the router.

      This is a Dell Optiplex 7020 SFF if that makes a difference.

      I currently have pfSense running virtualized on hyper-v 2019 but want to install it as dedicated router on the hardware so it hasn't been an issue before.

        Hi,

        If pfSense supports the graphics (card) hardware, then you'll be fine.
        The monitor will find a way to show the output of the graphics card all by itself, even if it has to scale down all the way back to 640x400 ;)

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??
