4k output on low profile?

Hi Guys,
I am trying to spec out an upgrade for our meeting room at work. This is used for meetings and light office use. I am thinking of getting a 55" 4k TV (PANASONIC VIERA TX55AX630B) and connecting it up to an old HP SFF E8400 based system. My only issue is that I'm not sure how to make the most of the panel given the limitations of the graphics card needing to be low profile.

From doing some reading I would need a GPU with HDMI 2.0 which only seem to come on high end gaming cards (970/980). Other option is to get cheap low profile card and use HDMI 1.4a which is limited to 30Hz. I'm not sure how this would effect things though?

Ideally I would like a cheap low profile card with HDMI 2.0 but this don't seem to exist. Does anyone have any ideas on the best way to go about this?

Thanks!

No games at all. Literally for GoToMeeting, Google Hangout, RDP back to main workstations and MS office use.

Is 4k worth it for a meeting room? Can't see it being worth the hassle for your intended use.

Probably not but I have £1,000 for the screen so figured why not. It does seem to be more hassle than it's worth so I might just stick to a decent 55" 1080p LED connected up to a £30 low profile GPU.

We currently have a projector. The other company offices are moving to large TVs instead of projectors so I have to follow suit. If it were me we would have a projector (Optoma HD141X) but company IT director wants TVs.
