I have an empty project only with a Canvas where I draw a circle and a text that I'm building on 2017.4.40f1 (also tested with 2020) for Linux players connected via HDMI. It looks like this:
![enter image description here](https://i.stack.imgur.com/3nBKS.jpg)
The Linux player are mini-pc Intel NUC7i3BNK running Ubuntu 20.04 and the Screen is LG43UL3G (UHD 60Hz), portrait orientation. There isn't desktop configured so everything is launched via command line.
The Player.log shows:
Desktop is 2160 x 3840 @ 30 Hz
New context 0x399ea10 created with attributes:

And if I print the screen resolutions with xrandr
from linux terminal I get this

As you can see the default screen or system resolution is 3840x2160 and 60Hz. With this resolution, the players overheats and reach 78ºC.
If I modify the screen resolution via xrandr --output
xrandr | grep "connected"|cut -f1 -d" " --mode 1920x1080 -r 60
then the temperature goes lower than 58ºC.
Same player and unity build, connected on a FHD screen, has a temperature between 50-55ºC.
I need the screen to be configured in UHD, if possible, because it shows more contents not related with Unity (i.e. UHD videos or pics).
Anyone knows why could be this temperature problem on UHD screen?
I've tried different player resolution settings on Unity without success on Ubuntu. On Debian 10 it works better.
