Graphics, sound and multimedia • Re: Running a a 4k screen on a Raspberry Pi running zero 2 W

a Pi Zero can't Output your resolution

I believe you are right. The OP says "4K" and seems to want 4098 x 2560 - a typo for 4096 x 2560 ? - which is more than 4K UHD (3840 x 2160), more than DCI 4K (4096 x 2160), but does appear to be a 4K resolution and sometimes also described as DCI 4K.

Which leaves me wondering what "4K" is, what 4K any Pi supports, and whether the Pi Zero 2W supports any 4K resolution.

The official Raspberry Pi documentation doesn't say 4K is supported on a Pi Zero 2W but at least one of the official resellers seems to -

The included Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W has a faster quad-core CPU, support for displays at up to 4K resolution

I am at that age where 4K is almost indistinguishable from VGA so I have no interest in it but was surprised to find "4K" so open to interpretation.
