Does anyone has an idea if this monitor PROLITE XB2779QQS-S1 (which has Displayport 1.3 in it with HBR3) works with the new iMac Pro (which has Displayport 1.2 in it with HBR2)?
I want to connect it with the Moshi Displayport to USB-C 5k cable, but i don't know if this setup is compatible 😟
Any help would appreciated, because no one knows
Okay, I have tried it with the StarTech dock. I can now confirm that MST (5K over dual DP connection) is NOT supported with this monitor. Best I could get was a side-by-side picture from two inputs. That's what the supplier told me would happen.
I could probably try it with just a TB3-2DP dongle, but it's rather expensive just to try something that most likely wouldn't work...
A couple of words on the StarTech Triple 4K USB-C Laptop Docking Station product id DK30CH2DPPD — it can be a good solution to some, but definitely not for me, since its DP ports are running through DisplayLink. There's a long list of associated problems (no clamshell mode, high CPU load, bad Retina handling etc.) There is something good about it though: it does charge the laptop, and it gives you a USB hub, and probably Ethernet (didn't check whether Ethernet worked without DisplayLink drivers).
tl;dr:
Two expensive options are left: trying a eGPU, or actually buying an LG Ultrafine 5K display. Haven't decided yet.
Could you maybe point me to this website?
Hey, nice try, maybe you can give an update after you instal 10.13.4 cause i think there will be some changes.
AlzaShop it's the online shop where i bought the ultrafine.
If you have something new give us an update.
Cause i need to buy a second monitor and i can't afford another ultrafine.
Does the Iiyama 5k monitor work with the iMac Pro?
