Can the Lenovo P40 Yoga drive a 4K Sony television? Before plunking down $2k+, I'd sure appreciate hearing some experts review my plan.
I want to use a 40" TV as a computer monitor. It will also be used to watch BluRay movies and occasionally even some over-the-air television shows. Computer applications include browsing, word processing, spreadsheets, photo editing, and some video editing, but no gaming.
Sony's 43-Inch 4K Ultra HD TV (XBR43X830C; 2015 Model) looks ideal because of its size and the review it gets.
I want to drive the TV with Lenovo's ThinkPad P40 Yoga PC (Intel Core i7-6500U; 16GB; 1TB SSD; 14-inch Full HD) because of its size, flexibility, weight, keyboard, etc. It contains the NVIDIA Quadro M500M 2GB graphics chip.
The issue is that the TV has only HDMI inputs, and the computer's 4K support is limited to its miniDisplayPort according to this review.
I see a Sabrent Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter that claims 4K support which would seem to close the gap.
As a neophyte, I'm sure there are caveats and gotchas that I don't forsee. Can some of you with more expertise please let me know if my plan looks workable? Do you seen any pitfalls?
Thank you!
