Typically, I connect my laptop to a 4k monitor via HDMI. A few months ago, I connected my laptop to a TV via HDMI. After disconnecting it, I can no longer use 4k on the monitor. I may have put the computer to sleep before disconnecting the TV, but I can't be sure. I've searched around the Internet, including Stack Exchange, but haven't found a solution.

When I connect the monitor, I have the option to use 4k, but if I select it, no signal is sent to the monitor. It seems like X really sees the new resolution; I can move my mouse way off in the direction of the monitor, it takes time to move it back. So X sees some desktop space over there.

The laptop is a Dell Precision 5530, with an NVidia Quadro P1000. I'm running Kubuntu 19.10 and the NVidia 440.100 driver. The monitor is an LG 27UD69P. The TV is a Samsung smart TV, but I don't have the model information handy.

Here is my xrandr output. eDP-1-1 is the laptop's built-in display. DP-1-3 is the HDMI connection.
