Hi, I wanna set up 5K dual monitor with my iMac 5K (late 2015, AMD R9 395X, i7 4.0GHz, El captain 10.11.1).
As using dual monitor, do HP27q 5K or UP2715K compatible with iMac 5K AMD R9 295X?

Hi isykzh,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
From your question, I understand that you would like to use a second display with your iMac and would like another monitor. According to the following article, the Dell UP2715K would be supported.
Dual-cable displays
Some displays with resolutions higher than 4K require two DisplayPort cables to connect the display at full resolution. With OS X Yosemite v10.10.3 or later, the Dell UP2715K 27-inch 5K display is supported on the following Mac computers:
- Mac Pro (Late 2013)
- iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014 and later)
- MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015) with AMD Radeon R9 M370X

Hi,joe_7399
Thank you for your answer. Sound nice. It's beneficial for me.
Dell's 5k will be good choice for dual monitor.
How about HPZ27q (not HP27q:its a mistake)?
I will be glad to hear If you have a information.
HP's 5K is 35% cheaper than Dell's 5K in Japan.
best!
Hello again isykzh,
This article outlines the different supported 4K displays and Ultra HD TVs that you can use with your Mac. The HPZ27q is not mentioned in the article so my assumption would be that it is not compatible. However, I am glad that the Dell UP2715K monitor you were looking at is compatible.
Cheers!
I just purchased the Dell UP2715K display as a second monitor for my iMac 5K. However, it seems from the resolutions and after plugging in both display port/thunderbolt cables that I am only able to set the resolution to 4K. Is it possible to use dual 5K resolution on both? Thanks.
Did you manage to get it working?
