Panasonic G80 external HDMI monitoring

Hi All
I am considering upgrading my DMC-G7 to a DMC-G80, primarily for the ability to connect a monitor / recorder, but also for the better internal 422 compression and sharpness dividend of no low pass filter.
I would like to ask existing owners / users about HDMI monitoring..
Can you set the camera up to record at 4K internally, but output a 1080 signal via the HDMI.
I plan to use a Ninja 2 as the monitor but it does not down-convert or accept 4K signals.
I may on occasion record on the Ninja as back up (note, "May", unlikely probably) but my main concern is monitoring.
I have looked at other options like getting a BMD VA4K, but it becomes costly once you add in memory cards and batteries etc, and besides I really don't need APR or DNxHR.
For less money I can get a G80 and Ninja 2, which might be a better route... if I can use the Ninja 2 as a 1080 signal monitor (I know the screen isn't full HD)
Many thanks in advance to G80 owners / users, I don't wish to be rude to anybody else, but I'm looking for actual experience from owners / users, not 'in principle' type answers.
Paul
