Q: Acer S277HK 4K - Macbook Pro Retina 13" (late 2013 model)
Hi Forum - I recently purchased an Acer S277HK 4K/60hz monitor and am using it as an external monitor with my Macbook Pro Retina 13" (late 2013 model). I am connected using "Cable Matters Mini Displayport to Mini Displayport 4K ready cable" to connect macbook to monitor. So far, I am unable to get the Acer resolution to reach 4K/60hz. I have done as much research on various forums and sites as possible, and so far everything I've seen leads me to believe that my MBP Retina 13" late 2013 should support a 4K/60hz connection, but so far am not able to reach this. Does anyone have advice on how I can resolve to achieve the higher resolution in the Acer external monitor? I have seen some comments about needing to use "switchrex" to adapt settings, but any guidance on this is hugely appreciated! Thank you.
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013), OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)
