I have a Dell Inspiron 15 7599, display is 15.6-inch UHD (3840 x 2160). The hdmi is 1.4. Does this change your answer.The projector can support at max, 4K UHD at 3840 x 2160 if used with HDMI 2.0. What is the model for your Dell laptop? I'm certain it doesn't have an HDMI2.0 output but I think the highest it can do is 1920x1200.
