I have a Acer Aspire A515-44-R833 (from 2020) with an AMD 4700U processor with integrated graphics controller.  Can it drive an external 4K monitor [3840 x 2160] at 60Hz? Unfortunately the Acer datasheet only specifies HDMI  "Yes"   and not the HDMI adapter version. Nor does it specify the supported resolution.

Thanks

    While the 4700u graphics & HDMI v2 specs both support maximum 3840 x 2160 resolution in theory, the maximum external refresh rates are . usually less than 30Hz in practice above 1080p and can also vary with the 4K monitor brand & model number. Especially for laptops like the A5 series which are not considered as true gaming laptops. In other words, you have to try one and see if it satisfies your needs. So buy from vendors who have good RMA policies.   :)
