Will my Acer Aspire 5 (A515-54) support a 4K external monitor?

I purchased an Acer Aspire A515-54 on Amazon. It has an Intel Core i3-8145U processor and Intel UHD Graphics 620. It also has HDMI 2.0 connectivity. I am considering getting a LG 27UL650-W 27 Inch 4K UHD LED Monitor which supports a resolution of 3840 x 2160 @ 60Hz. It looks like the UHD Graphics 620 using HDMI 2.0 from the laptop would support this as an external monitor. Am I missing anything? Not using it for gaming (not a gamer at all). Mostly streaming and surfing. 4K may be overkill but I want a larger external monitor so I may as well get 4K supported. Any other recommendations for a monitor. I also add another 8GB of memory for a total of 12GB (only came with 4GB) and bumped up SSD from 128GB to 500GB if that makes any difference.

Yeah, you shouldn't have any issues unless you find yourself with a really old HDMI cable. Some will only allow 30Hz refresh rate... Just swap out to a good cable if you run into that.

Thanks for answering the question. Getting the correct HDMI cable shouldn't be a problem.

Hello, I have a Acer Aspire 5 15.6" Laptop - Silver (Intel Core i3-10110U/256GB SSD/8GB RAM/Windows 10) and would like to get a monitor for multitasking. Can you please give me suggestions of monitors compatible with my laptop and what type of USB to buy to connect my laptop to the monitor. Thank you

@PhyssyB you should start your own thread, using the Ask a Question button, and give us the full model number so we can look it up.
