HD Graphics 4000 - 4K Support

[FLaub]

I'd like to know if my current system is capable of supporting a 4K display (Acer - CB281HK 28" LED 4K UHD FreeSync Monitor is the consideration). OS is Windows 10, i7-3770S, 10.18.10.4358 (most recent available through Windows update). I've attached the Intel HD Graphics report for the current configuration. My targeted use is for Photoshop & Lightroom photo editing, video is not a serious consideration or requirement. I see the ability to add custom resolutions through the control panel, but want to make sure it's going to be possible to get it working before purchasing the display.

Thanks for you response. That's what I came up with as well, but I found several articles saying that with the 2 DisplayPorts I could use them with one display and double the bandwidth? I believe it also stated I would need DisplayPort 1.2 and a driver update in order to configure it that way. I'm not able to determine the DisplayPort version I have, but it appears Ivy Bridge only supports 1.1. Should I assume that whatever they're doing will not be applicable to what I have?

Sorry to revive this thread, but is happens to be well referenced on the search engine ....

i've got some good news for you & other HD4000 users, if your machine has some decent HDMI support (no need for 2.0 or greater, 1.2)

See this thread at Intel forum :

As a summary, yes HD4000 can work with UHD as long as your screen support 24Hz. The issue is that most monitor do not support 24Hz. But most TV with HDMI do support 24Hz for legacy purposes.

You can find in some Intel annoucement in the archive sites that the HD4000 was touted to support 4K, but sometime Intel has decided not pushed this as an official supported feature. But anyway, it do works. I have one of such system and can use it without problem on a OLED 4K panel, event with latest build The only issue is to get the Intel software that build the profile because the tool is no more directly bundled ... but anyway "it works".
