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

Oh I see. Your monitor has a DP input. Mine doesn't. I bet that makes a difference.

Still, it seems there must be a way to get 60Hz 2160p. I know the laptop can output this... and my brand new monitor is capable of displaying it.

Seems like it should work somehow. I hope your research leads you to a solution very soon. Good luck!

I tried a few things to get 60Hz working and haven't found a solution yet.

I found a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI 2.0 adapter on Amazon, which some people posted success stories about in their reviews, but it remains "out of stock". Have you seen anything like this?

I also tried using SwitchResX to create a custom resolution of 4k at 60Hz (and 4k at 50Hz), but SwitchResX keeps saying the resolution was "Not Activated - Invalid?". Odd.

No luck getting 60Hz yet.

So, has anyone gotten a 4k 60hz via SST working on the Late 2013 mbpr 15"???

The latest Apple article states that 4k 60Hz via SST works on a Mid 2014 mbpr 15", so what would be the limitation of the Late 2013???

Been reading the whole thread now and can't figure out why it doesn't work for me.

I have a MBProRetina 13" mid 2014 running 10.11-beta El Capitan and Samsung U28E590D 4K monitor (the back of the monitor is posted above).

Through HDMI I can run on 4K but only 30 hz which of course is horrible. With DP (Monitor) to Mini DP (computer) the maximum I can choose is 3008 x 1692 (low res.) and 30 hz or 2560 x 1440 (low res.) with 60 hz. I have chosen DP 1.2 in the monitor settings. The DP to Mini DP - cable I'm using is told to have support for 4K 60 hz but how can I know for sure?

So right now I'm not sure if it is my computer or my cables fault I can't run 4K 60 hz.

Best regards.

Edit: The computer run Intel Iris 1536 mb.

Hi,

so could you reach 3840 x 2160 at 60 Hz with your MacBook Pro described above with any other 4K monitor which has mDP 1.2? For example this one: https://www.amazon.de/LG-Products-27UD88-W-AEU-Zoll-Monitor/dp/B01CDYB0QS/ref=sr _1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1479247739&sr=8-1&keywo…

Are you using a model with a dedicated gpu 750m or a model with the iris pro?

But I rember that asus only have hdmi 1.4port which means IT limit the HZ up to 30HZ rather than 60HZ

on minidisplay port 1.2a. As I know the dell up3214Q does this job.

So the PQ321Q does include minidp 1.2a?

Have you updated to marvekis ?

From above...Yes, all three, resolution on the 27" monitiors is 2560 x 1440 each.

Correct two seperate desktops

1) No idea, sorry. You'd have to try it.

2) For web browsing it'd probably be fine. Don't think you'll be gaming on it though, and even full screen video would probably be dicey.

Oh and by the way: has anyone worked with a Thunderbolt-to-HDMI1.4 Cable for a 4K resolution? If so: Is the experience any better than with HDMI-to-HDMI?

Thanks and best regards

ChrBart, your Retina MacBook Pro (late 2013) already has HDMI 1.4a and suports resolutions up to 3840x2160 at 30Hz via HDMI. Are you looking to output to more than one display?
