I encountered a few issues when I was trying to use my 4K TV as an external 4K monitor with my MacBook and trying to use it at 60Hz, after a few trial and error I was able to successfully achieve it.

4K Display at 60Hz Checklist

There are three things you are required to get your 4K display to work at 60Hz.

Is Your Macbook model compatible?

If you have got a Mac book that you bought recently in the last few years it most probably is going to work on 4K display at 60 Hz. Apple is probably one of the first companies to adopt newer tech into their devices, which is why there MacBook Air from 2015 also supports 4K at 60hz.

Does your display have got HDMI 2.0?

If you have got a 4K monitor which you bought recently, chances are it is going to have HDMI 2.0, or it may even have a thunderbolt output (which is available in rather more expensive monitors).

It is highly unlikely that a 4K monitor would be shipped with HDMI 1.4 (a version before the HDMI 2.0), but if it is the case then you won't have any luck, since it is only capable of running 4K at 24Hz, 25Hz and 30Hz.

There is already a version newer than HDMI 2.0, and it's called HDMI 2.1 which was released in 2017. But HDMI 2.0, which was released in 2013, is capable of running a 4K display at 60Hz.

Is your HDMI cable compatible for 4K at 60Hz?

If you pass this checklist of having a compatible MacBook and having a display with HDMI 2.0, the last thing that you need to make sure it's compatible is the cable you are going to connect your Macbook with the display.

If you have got an expensive monitor, which has got a thunderbolt output, it will be easy for you to connect your MacBook to the 4K display and run it at 60 Hz since thunderbolt it is compatible, and you can get them for pretty cheap prices from Amazon.com.

If your monitor only has got a compatible HDMI 2.0 slot, then you will have to go for adaptors which will convert HDMI cable to the desired output slot available on your MacBook. Most recent Macbook have got Thunderbolt / USB type C slot, so you can get HDMI to Type C cable, but make sure you buy an HDMI to USB type C cable that specifically mentions it is compatible with 4K at 60Hz.

If you already have got a compatible HDMI cable, you can also go for an HDMI to USB type C adaptors, but only the ones that specifically mention it is compatible with 4K at 60 Hz.

Also, if you want to purchase a multiport adaptor for MacBook, you should specifically look for the compatibility, since the majority of multiple adaptors available for MacBook can only handle 4K at 30 Hz.
