Can I watch 4k movies at native 4k resolution by connecting my iPad Pro 2020 to a 4k Monitor? What kind of monitor would work for this purpose? How about the aspect ratio of the screen? Would I be stuck at 4:3 aspect ratio since that’s the aspect ratio of the iPad?

I think if you cast the movie to a 4k TV it works fine,
But if you hardwire it to a TV/monitor then think it struck at 4:3

Picture below of my ipad casting Netflix to my 4K TV but there nothing to say if it is displaying at 4k or not when casting on my TV
