2021 4K monitor compatibility with 2013 Mac Pro (trashcan)

Hi, I'm trying to find an inexpensive 4K monitor to use with my 2013 Mac Pro (trashcan). It has the two AMD FirePro D300 graphics cards.


Does anyone see any problems with either of these two currently at Best Buy:


LG 27” IPS 4K UHD Monitor with VESA Display HDR 400 - Model: 27UP600-W.AUS

Thanks!

Either one should be fine. You need to use a Thunderbolt output on the Mac with a cable mini DP connector on one end and DP connector to the monitor on the other. One monitor has HDMI in but note that the HDMI port on the Mac only support 4K@30Hz. You couod get an mini DP>HDMI adapter that supports 4K@60Hz and use that. That is what I am using.
