4k monitor

Hi. I am recently a bit doubtful, because I purchased a 2015 13" MBP, and I can still return it so I'm thinking about all the options inside the MacBook family, because I still can return the 2015 machine. So, here is are my questions: 1) Is the Core M3 2017 MacBook powerful enough to be my...

I have 13" Macbook Pro mid-2010 with 8 GB Ram and 1 TB SSD - Kind of exhausted all upgrades possible. I currently have Viewsonic 21" monitor which needs an upgrade. I would like to have 32" monitor, possibly 4K to future-proof. I can then use 21" in vertical mode with 32" 4K monitor - dual...

Hi guys, I want to create this thread in order to help people like myself with their struggles to decide on an external 4k-display that's driven by a MacBook (early 2015). Since there are plenty of parameters (like HDMI vs. DisplayPort vs. USB-C, 30 Hz vs. 60 Hz, simultaneous charging of the...

Hi all, Does anyone know if I am better of running a 2k 27" monitor in it's native resolution or a 4k scaled? Right now I am looking at the Dell UltraSharp U2717D 27-inch InfinityEdge Monitor LED-Lit Monitor. I've heard people comment that you're better off running quad hd (exactly half of 5k...

I've just moved from a top-end 2016 5K iMac to using my 12" MacBook as my main macOS machine alongside a custom gaming PC. These are both connected to a shared USB-C 4K monitor. I need to upgrade my macOS machine, and I'd like it to be a portable device - so that leaves me with the MacBook Pro...

My iMac is a 27-inch Late 2012, "Core i7", model A1419 (EMC2546), which has an Nvidia GTX 680MX 2048MB GPU. I'm interested in using a "4K" monitor with it, like the "Dell Ultra HD 4K Monitor P2415Q".

Just received a brand new Dell U2717D as external monitor for my nearly new MBP 15" (since the old Thunderbolt display is not available any more and the new one hasn't been released). The text quality on the monitor, however, is terrible, which defeats the whole purpose of getting an external...

Does anyone have any recommendations for an External Monitor, which will work smoothly with my MBP (Late 2011). After doing a bit of research I found that some of the UHD monitors may not work with my MBP 2011 model ideally, a UHD monitor would be preferred as I would be looking to upgrade my...

Hello, I'm using a late 2013 MacBook Pro 15" and a LG 27UD68-W 4K display, both are connected through a Mini DP to DP cable. But when I connect both using the MacBooks Thunderbolt port the wifi drops instantly to around 0,3 - 20 mbit/s (I usually have 50 mbit/s) sometimes a cant even get a...

Hello, First post here. Really tried hard to find an answer but no luck, therefore looking for some help! I am using a Mac Pro 5,1 (12-core) and recently added an evga gtx 980 and I am using a 27 inch LG UHD (3840X2160 native), connected via display port to my mac pro tower. I am running...

Hey, guys. Happy to see that probably the biggest thread on the Internet related to external 4K displays working with Macs is on this forum. As many of you here, I am now looking for an external display (too bored to wait for DP 1.3 and it's not like 5K at 27" is exactly required, current...

Background USB-C has four high-bandwidth lanes that can be dedicated to either USB 3.1 Gen 1 (i.e. USB 3.0 - 5Gbps) or DisplayPort 1.2. In addition to these four lanes, USB-C has separate USB 2.0 and power lanes that are available at all times. Running 4K at 60Hz requires the bandwidth of...

Today I purchased the LG 27" 27ud88 4k display with usb-c port. It retails for $699. I know a few of you were wondering about using a 4k display with the rMB so here goes...
