What kind of monitor for my laptop? [View all]

I just impulsively bought a 28 inch 4K monitor for a good price (one of them thar Black Friday deals) Just now thinking - is it going to work with my laptop computer that has Intel UHD graphics? Will it be enough to run the monitor in its full capacity?

Put another way, I guess my question would be what kind of computer do I need to run a monitor that has a really good sharp high quality picture.

I will be eventually doing photo editing -- for now just watching movies and stuff so I would love a bigger better screen.

Will need some better speakers too!
