cheapest intel for 27" 4k display
Hi Im not computer savvy at all and would appreciate any help in choosing my next PC.
I currently have a Dell Inspiron with an Intel i7-4790 and the 23" monitor it came with. I recently used the HDMI connection to use my 32" tv and have decided I definitely benefit from a bigger screen.
On the 32" TV the image looked very faded and Im told thats to do with resolution of the Intel chip not being high enough, so Im looking at getting a new PC with a 4k resolution ability.
I could go from 27" to 32" for the monitor and wondered what Intel chip would give the most crisp display for general internet browsing, at the lowest price?
I am only considering Dell for the actual PC too.
Thanks for any help forthcoming :)

The "Intel" is not the problem, its the video card. Don't use the built in Intel Video, you need a specialized video card that will support 4K and large video displays.
Thus whatever new Dell you buy, make sure it comes with a separate Video card that will support what you want.
I can't make any recommendations as I don't know what $$ range you are looking at. But you are looking at more than the "cheapest" model.

4k requires a real GPU.
GTX1050 TI does fine with that.
5k requires a gpu and 2 DISPLAY PORT cables.

4K does not require a separate GPU. Now for gaming yes, but for displaying normal content at 4K resolutions? The built in graphics of the intel chip has no problems with it. Heck, even my 3rd gen core i5 had no problem at 1440P. The newer ones have no problem with 2160P.

"Dell UltraSharp 27 Ultra HD Monitor (UP2715K)" is a 5k monitor.
Which is why it comes with DUAL Display port inputs and the manual shows the DUAL Display port cables as required. Larger than 27 monitors are also 5k and needing DUAL Display port cables.
INTEL Graphics doesn't support this.
OP also said go from 27" to 32"
4K Ultra HD 3840 x 2160 60Hz requires 6th, 7th, 8th GEN INTEL UHD Graphics.

I had posted Im not sure if it was deleted but the nutshell is that I would need to add a graphics card to my desktop?
If so I will give it a miss, thankyou for the info and saving a few hundred £'s on a monitor though lol.
Thanks again :)
