Q: 4k at 60hz with Thunderbolt 2?
Hey guys,
I have a 13 inch Late 2013 MacBook Pro with 2.4 GHz, 8 GB ram, Dual Core i5, Intel Iris 1536 MB integrated graphic, and Thunderbolt 2.0. It runs the latest version of OSX (at the time of writing this) - 10.11.5 (El Capitan).
The display on the screen itself is great, but I was looking for something to expand screen real estate, and some of the 4k monitors looked terrific. However, I read on an Apple Article that my mac can only support 4k (3840x2160) at 30 hz, which the internet tells me is horrible.
The monitor will be used for Video Editing, Web Browsing, Programming (Xcode etc), and Note Taking.
If I was to find a 4k display that had a Thunderbolt 2 port, could I then run 4k at 60hz or still no?
If not can I at least run WQHD (2560x1440) at 60hz through HDMI? Through Thunderbolt 2?
Thanks so much!
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013), OS X El Capitan (10.11.5), null
