    No 4K support. Only 1080p over HDMI.

    I'm not so sure. 1080 is a limitation of the micro HDMI but the HDMI 1.4 specs indicate that a normal HDMI port is capable of 4k. The NP880Z5E should be capable of well above 1080. You would need to go through the thread for that family of notebooks to see what people have used.

    You will also need to either extend the desktop or turn off the internal display in order to get the benefit of the higher resolution.
