I have two ASUS PB278 which I connected with HDMI originally (1080p was best option), and switched to a mini-display port to display port connection, and resetting the PRAM worked for me! Thanks!
One thing to note is after I restarted and reset the PRAM, even though I could select 2560x1440, I had to also turn the monitors off then back on (they had some artifact lines being drawn before doing this).
I just wanted to thank all of you for the help I got by reading your posts.
I have just installed two ASUS PB278Q monitors on my MacBook Pro 15-in Retina, and they are working very well.
My setup:
- MacBook Pro 15-in Retina (early 2013)
- OS X Mavericks 10.9.4
- 2 ASUS PB278Q monitors purchased from B&H within the last month
- StarTech MiniDisplayPort (MDP) to DisplayPort (DP) 10-ft cable from StarTech.com (purchased on Amazon.com)
- One monitor is daisy-changed through a LaCie Thunderbolt drive, and the second is directed to one of my two Thunderbolt ports on my MBA-15R.
I didn't really have any trouble installing these monitors at the max resolution of 2560x1440. The first monitor I installed, I did have to turn it off/on to see the "Scaled Resolution" of 2560x1440. The second monitor, installed today, came up in the max res without any effort on my part.
I installed the first monitor under Mt. Lion, and then after upgrade to Mavericks, I installed the second monitor.
If you are having problems achieving the max res of 2560x1440, I encourage you to keep trying, read all of the posts on this forum. It CAN be done!
I highly recommend both B&H Photo/Video as a vendor and StarTech.com products. I use both B&H and Amazon.com a lot.
