HP OMEN 27k monitors stuck at 60hz

[SirOP]

I just received two HP OMEN 27k monitors that are marketed as 4k up to 144hz. I plugged them in with the hdmi cables they came with, and they work but the one that's plugged into the hdmi port on the Mac Studio Max is locked at up to 60hz and the one that's using a thunderbolt adapter is also locked to 60hz.

I'm using :

Mac Studio Max

HP OMEN 27k 144hz, 4k monitors

Insignia NS-PA3CHD thunderbolt to hdmi adapter

hdmi cords that came with the monitors

Both monitors, in the display settings, are at 1920x1080p and I only get options for 30hz, 50hz, and 60hz.

No idea what's going on here, but If someone could enlighten me hopefully I won't have to stare at 60hz monitors for the rest of time.

According to Omen's website that display and the drivers for it are only supported in Windows. This may be why you don't get the full display options on macOS.

Dang. I really really hope that's not the case but I can't think of anything else. Thanks!

Not sure if this is the case with your monitors. I have Gigabyte 34" Ultra Wide 144hz monitor. The HDMI port on the monitor it self is limited to 60hz. To get full 144hz refresh on my monitor I had to use thunderbolt to DisplayPort cable. This is the cable I used.
