Does the new Macbook Pro 15" (late 2013) supports 4K via Thunderbolt/Displayport?

Unfortunately, I am not. However I did update to latest beta released today and 1080p does work now on my dell along with fixes to chrome or the beamsync application, it runs without me having to manually turn off beamsync.

1080p retina scaled is very very nice. It definitely feels like a retina screen now. 30hz isn't really noticeable at all, of course if you're planning to play games don't get it. colors are great, etc etc.

Ty Apple!

The last thing we need is 4k 60hz for Iris! You can do it Apple! haha

For those on 4k, the latest Chrome Beta fixes all issues.

On a closely related note, I've noticed a growing interest among people with 2012 rMBPs to be able to output 4K@30Hz, but technical details on the Displayport in those models are conflicting. I wondered if anyone had a 650M laptop who could confirm or deny 4K ability?

thanks for posting!

At this point I am almost surprised that the 13" MBP can handle 4k @60Hz, although it made sense to me from the very beginning, since it can also drive two external 2k displays at 60Hz. Which is basically the same thing as MST.

Also i dont understand why apple doesnt put a nice display out there and let as many MBP owners as possible benefit from this?

I own a 13" and really want one of them 4k displays. 30Hz is not an option.

Dear forumites:

As a non-tech savvy person and pehaps becuse of not being a native English speaker, I could not understand what that guy actually means with his statement "

"(In Bootcamp 13'' Haswell rMBP) shows the monitor as 2 monitors running in portrait. Other than this, it works @ 60hz".

Please kindly comment on nuances of the 4k 60Hz output on bootcamp of the Haswell rMBP 15'' with Nvidia 750M and Haswell rMBP 13'' with Iris. I wonder whether the end result (what I would see on the monitor) be the same or not.

Guys,

Apparently this "2 monitors running in portrait" thing has a negative implication:

But I could not fully understand this and cannot visualize it.

If you can grasp it, please kindly elaborate.

AFAIK, the only difference between Iris and Iris Pro graphics are the levels of performance, not the driver API specifics. If true, I don't see why the same drivers wouldn't work, even of they work at an unacceptibly low level of performance. I'll investigate the driver issue and report back...

OK, I was wrong. I contacted some friends who do this for a living, and they said you do need a very different driver for Iris than Iris Pro. So consider that yet another driver platform Apple needs to reach.

The samsung U28D590D is not listed as a supported monitor on the suport page at:

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6008

But, ths display is supposed support 4k resolution without need for the MST hack due to updated electronics.

Hmmm, wonder if that means it works....

Has anyone with 10.9.3 had luck getting MST to work with MULTIPLE displays? I have a rMBP <-> Dell U2713H <-> Dell U2713HM, the U2713H says it is getting a displayport 1.2 signal, but the U2713HM just displays a mirror, and I can't see any way in the OSX software to change it.

But those are not 4k displays, right? So unless you daisy-chain them you wont need MST or DP1.2.

If you connect an external display for the first time, os x will turn on mirroring. You will see a little icon with a triangle at the top, left of the WiFi icon. Try to turn this off, the setting will be saved.

No not 4k, but I want to only plug in a single cable for daisy chaining them so I can use the other tbolt port for ethernet. I'll check if I have that icon when I get in tomorrow, but when I pulled up the displays arrangement it only showed two total screens.

Hi all,

I am the guy who posted on Rene's site. I have tried various Mac combos as you can see in my post there:

http://rene.rebe.de/2014-01-27/dell-ultrasharp-24-4k-up2414q-on-mac/

I think someone wanted a clarification on my bootcamp Iris scenario. Intel has something called collage mode which allows you to put two monitors together and be seen as one ( similar to eyefinity ). It works, but only if you use just the external display. You have to keep your laptop closed or else it will attempt to join that to the collage and it just isn't workable.

So if you want 60hz in Bootcamp with rMBP 13" ( late 2013 ), you get one monitor. Otherwise you can run with multiple monitors and the O/S will then see the external display as 2 monitors instead of one ( this is a driver detail ). Perhaps Intel will fix the drivers. Also, it does not work at all in 60hz under Mavericks 10.9.3.

I have also tested this with the Samsung 28" 4k display. It was awful. The dell blows it away. That samsung is super low quality, leaks light, and was just generally unpleasant.

I hope this helps someone.

I checked this morning and I don't have any kind of icon added near the wifi symbol, and it doesn't seem to detect it connected at all, eg:

This is an important point you make. Knowledge Base article HT6008 makes no distinction between the 13" and 15" late 2013 MacBook Pro Retina with reference to supporting 60Hz on the displays they tested. Apple support told me that the KB article explicitly identifies the 13" model as supporting 60Hz. It's looking like when 10.9.3 dropped, for whatever reason, the engineers pulled support for the 13" though it would seem that it does support 60 Hz (as many here and elsewhere have already identified). My tech support call is running up the ladder to the graphics engineers for a find answer.

I'm using the Dell UP2414Q connected to my MBPr 13" late 2013, and I'm not getting 60Hz even with DP 1.2 enabled on the monitor, nor do I see the scaling icons as shown in the HT6008 KB article.

It's surprising to me that Apple wasn't more thorough with the KB article--I mean people are making purchasing decisions based on that information--which is exactly what I did.

I'm actually quite happy with the Dell UP2414Q, even at 30Hz connected with my late 2013 13" MacBook Pro. For me, 4K is a game-chaning improvement. For what I use it for--mainly writing, web surfing, and light photo editing work--it's fine, though I note that window interactions like minimizing, displaying dialog sheets, etc., seem a bit stuttery. I'm sure my next Mac will support 60Hz (though I still hope Apple will offer 60Hz for the late 2013 13" MacBook Pro with a future software update. Anyone out there care to comment on the interface performance difference between 30Hz and 60Hz as it relates to the Iris graphics and the Dell UP2414Q? In other words, I wonder if Iris Pro at 60Hz is dramatically better with the UP2414Q than what I've got now.
