What best resolution u want? 4K 60hz? Your machine HDMI can only deliver 4K 30hz. Are u using 15” with eGPU?

The only way is to buy 4K monitor with display port + display port to mini display port cable.

Well it could work. Safe bet is by using display port.

U can check in your system information. Or if u using 2.2ghz, no gpu.

2.5ghz n 2.8ghz comes with gpu

Editing ? No need 4k format. Editing FHD mode then render to 4K, go easy setup.
