Hello,

I have a 15 inch Mid 2010 Macbook Pro. I want to get the Asus PB287Q 4K monitor as an external.

Am I correct that my Macbook will only allow 2560 x1600 on the Asus?

What cable would I need to connect?

Would I be able to have a second external monitor running off the same mac? I am currently using a Dell Ultra sharp 2005FPW.

Thanks!

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)

You are correct, 2560x1600 is the highest and connect with mini display to display port cable or mini display to HDMI cable(adapter).

Thanks for the replies!

@lllaass does that mean with the mini display to HDMI I will only get a max of 1080p resolution?

Would I be able to connect my old Dell monitor with my Macbook and the Asus? to have 3 screens?
