graphics cardhdmilaptopmultiple-monitors

I am the owner of a Samsung ATIV Book 9 2014 Edition (15.6” Full HD Touch / Core™ i7) (http://www.samsung.com/us/computer/pcs/NP940X5J-K02US)

It has a HDMI input and a Intel HD 4400 Graphics running a 1920 x 1080 on the display. I am thinking of getting a external monitor which runs 4K – will the computer/graphic card handle this?

According to this website:

To put this in perspective, and illustrate why HDMI 2.0 is so important and necessary, we can take a look at current televisions on the market. The HDMI 1.4a ports on current UHD TVs from Samsung, LG, Toshiba and Sony can receive full resolution UHD or 2160p signals (3840x2160), but they can't do so at frame rates greater than 24 frames per second. While this is sufficient for movies, it's not good enough for even current 2160p television broadcasts which will use 50 or 60 fps.

If it works, it will maximum be with 24 fps since your manual does not mention HDMI2 (and manufactures are always very happy put put a "better" version as feature in their manual).
