When using both HDMI ports, theoretically, you can drive the two 4K screens at 30Hz but firmware support for this setup is not here yet.How about combinations of these on the two screens? Here is what the current status is: The Raspberry Pi 4 supports 4K resolutions (3840×2160) at several refresh rates, up to 60Hz. Of course, to see those extra pixels, you need a 4K screen.

The VC1 and MPEG-2 codecs that used to require a license in the previous Pi, are gone altogether. However, omxplayer will only play h264 video, while HEVC (H265) is accessed through a different API than OpenMax IL (namely FFmpeg), which will require modifications on many tools dealing with video on the Pi. Both codecs are supported out of the box, so no extra licenses are required. There is a chance that it can decode two 1080p60 H.264 streams at the same time, but we have not tested it yet.

Unfortunately, H.264 decoding is only supported for up to 1080p at 60FPS. The Raspberry Pi 4 can decode up to 4K video at 60FPS, encoded in H.265.

All other SBCs on the market boast full 4K support, so we kinda expected that. That was the most expected feature of all, at least for us here at Yodeck. Given that the 2 ports are really close together and there isn’t much room, you can’t use two adapters for dual screen setups and you should instead go for cables. The downside? The two display ports are actually micro-HDMI, which means that you need a micro-HDMI-to-HDMI adapter or cable. That said, to configure the resolution, a new tool was introduced called “Screen Configuration” (found under “Preferences”), which uses the XRANDR API. We did manage to get the extended desktop working using a 4K and a 1080p screen. These can be used either in a mirror configuration, or in an extended desktop type of screen setup. The Raspberry Pi 4 has support (at least, the hardware does) for driving two screens at the same time through HDMI. Make sure you read on for all the juicy details!
