@Peter Ong - Always include exact PC model and version of Windows in your posts.
Do you only have onboard Intel Graphics without an add-in video card?
Make sure the cable you buy works DP(PC)>HDMI(monitor). They're typically not "reversible" so you just can't turn a HDMI(PC)>DP(monitor) cable around...

You can click on Get help now, on bottom right of your screen. Sending a direct message to Dell Support to open a help ticket with your question.
You may need to provide your information and product' service tag (do not post here) to verify your ownership and entitlement to the service.
Please note that Dell do not provide support to third party products. Use your common sense, Dell supports would not have information on an LG monitor and an unknown cable.
Similar questions have been posted in this community. You should do research yourself and making your own decision because the results are vary.
One thing I can tell you is a DP (computer) to HDMI (monitor) cable can give you UHD resolution. That was based on some experience of past setup. Not speaking for Dell.
If you are so uncertain, you can do more research on the big ecommerce, the zone, read the reviews from customers on the products, and go from there.

I believe you were already given the answer by Dell-Cares but here is a link to the manual detailing it should work:
Here is a link to a cable that should work, but other cables like this should work as long as it states it's DP to HDMI (cables like this typically always only go one direction like RoHe mentioned) and it also states it can do 4K UHD @ 60hz
On a side note, your model also appears to be an Inspiron 3020.
If you have any trouble just let us know.

Yes, you can use displayport to hdmi cable. Try to get a high quality cable if you want 4k at 60 Hz.

As my PC (dell 3090) only the DP is support UHD and the HDMI is only support FHD, I am not sure is I can just use the DP to HDMI cable to get the UHD, can any one from Dell clarify this question?
