+===== Fix refresh rate =====
+In case 60Hz refresh rate is supported but is causing problems and Kodi keeps reverting to 60Hz, the following xrandr command in the /etc/rc.local file can be used to adjust the refresh rate before Kodi starts:
+<code - /etc/rc.local>
+#!/bin/sh
+DISPLAY=:0 xrandr --output DP-1 --mode 3840x2160 --rate 30.00
