Solved! Can a 1080p laptop play 4k if connected to 4k monitor?

Hi I have a laptop which can play videos in 1080p maximum, if I connect it to a 4k monitor will I be able to play videos in 4k? I will be using YouTube if that even matters.

Usually not but it depends what display sockets and versions the it has, for HDMI it needs to be 2.0.

If it has the supported display outputs yes.

You could use HDMI 1.4 for 4K, but only at 30 Hz.
