Can I use a 2nd Monitor at 4K resolution (quad hd, 3840 x 2160 pixels)

HP Envy TS 17 Notebook, Product # E4S19UALaptop is running Intel HD Graphics 4600, and I have 16Gb memory installed. I use a 2nd monitor all the time via the HDMI port - works great.  Both the laptop and the current 2nd monitor are running at 1920x1080 resolution (HD). I would like to attach a 4K monitor - (UHD-1) 3840x2160 resolution - 4 x "regular" HD (twice the horizontal and twice the vertical resolution). Will this laptop be able to operate the 4K monitor at 3840x2160 resolution (even at 30hz would be okay - not for games but rather for word processing, spreadsheets, software development)?  Don't want to invest in the fancy new monitor if the laptop cannot drive it! Here is an exampe monitor: Samsung 28 Inch Ultra High Resolution LED Monitor (U28D590D), available on Amazon.com. Thanks!

Thanks for the information! As a suggestion, I have a copy of that manual, and it does indeed state precisely the information that I needed. Funny thing is, I looked in the TOC and the Index for anything related to external monitors and HDMI, and there wasn't anything that pointed to that page.  Perhaps for future User's Manuals, the TOC and/or Index could include such references. Either way, thank you so much for the help! Also, for folks who are interested in higher resolution external displays, there is the option to use USB devices such as that from www.plugable.com to attach devices. I don't yet have their USB 3.0 4K compatible one, but I have been using their USB 2.0 HD compatible one for several years so that I can have 3 monitors (built-in, external, Plubable USB) - and it works very well. Flawless operation, though refresh rate is slow (not good for gaming). Which works for me, because it is mainly for surfing and email.

  • Can i use a 2nd iphone if i install itunes on another user account.when i tried to create a second library i messed up both phones, the second one now has all my contacts and when it sends txts it either says its my other phone or email address

    can i use a 2nd iphone if i install itunes on another user account.when i tried to create a second library i messed up both phones, the second one now has all my contacts and when it sends txts it either says its my other phone or email address. i can cope with the first phone and getting it back on itunes but dont want to syn the 2nd phone until i know it is independant of the other one. Does it matter that both phones use the same itunes store account?

    Deleting the account on your phone only removes if from your phone.  The account and it's data remain intact and doing so will not effect your daughter's phone.
    To do this, first go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn any synced data (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off, and when prompted, choose to keep the data on the phone.  When finished, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Then set up a new iCloud account with a different Apple ID and turn any data you want to sync with iCloud (contact, calendars, etc.) back to On.  This will upload your data to your new iCloud account.

  • I can't use my Philips monitor with Mac mini

    I can't use my Philips monitor with Mac mini, I am using a HDMI to VGA cable to connect them. But no signal on my Philips monitor.
    My Mac mini is in a good condition, it can connect with my HDTV, the BENQ monitor at my office, but I can't make it connect with my Philips monitor.
    I dun know what happen.
    Please help!
    Thanks!

    The two are incompatible, HDMI is a digital signal and VGA is an analog signal. You need a monitor with a HDMI port or a DVI-I port, these are both digital signals. DVI-I gives the best output.

    if your "30 monitor" had either HDMI or component inputs, then yes. you'll also need speakers as well, so you will need optical inputs on those.

  • Can I use an 2nd (or even 3rd) Apple TV device in our entertainment room that has multiple TV's

    First of all I'm wiling to buy as many apple TV's as needed, so my question is not about how to do everything with one Apple TV device...but rather how to get multiple Apple TV devices in the same general location of the house to work without interfearing with one another. We bought a new (2nd) TV for the entertainment room so that our kids could use the 2nd TV for putting stuff up (via Apple TV airplay) from their phones and ipads...and still watch TV on the other TV.
    Well, it turns out they often don't want to watch TV but rather use airplay from different devices on BOTH TV'S. Currently, we have one (2nd or 3rd generation) apple TV already and one problem/issue I have noticed was that if someone (Watcher #1) was already streaming to the Apple TV via airplay...a second person (Watcher #2) using a different device (iphone, ipad, etc) could send something via airplay to the same Apple TV which would automatically "override" and cause Watcher #1''s program/video/pic to stop and thus allow Watcher #2 to start watching...much to the annoyance of Watcher #1. (With 2 kids you can just imagine the arguing and fighting that goes on)
    So, besides trying to eliminate this "battle of the airplays"...I'm curious if we buy a second Apple TV for the same room...how can we hook it up so there is no conflict...and how will which apple TV know which device is trying to to send airplay to it. I get the feeling that that we will end up with 2 TV's playing the same feed from one device...unless there is a better and more proper way.
    Also, I would like to add a3rd Apple TV device to the TV in our home office so that I can use as well...but because of the close proximity to the entertainment room...I fear that if I try to send a feed to the apple TV in the office it will start to play on the TV's in the entertainment room.

    You can have as many ATV's as you want, but I STRONGLY STRONGLY STRONGLY encourage you to use wired connections on all of them.  AirPlay is a god awful bug ridden failure prone feature under the best of circumstances.   Using it over WiFi is much worse.  And the band width load of three different devices connection to your WiFi access point to three different ATV's (total of six concurrent connections) will very likely over whelm your WiFi hardware.  
    I actually encourage people to always use a wired connection with ATV in general.  It saves a LOT of head ache and frustration.  With three it is even more important.   As far as controlling which one you connect to.  They are three separate devices.  You select which one you want to send something too.  So if you want to send something to the one in your office then just select that ATV.   It would probably be good to setup their names to be the location.   So something like "Office Apple TV". 
    As far as kids being brats and intentionally interrupting each others AirPlay connections...   Well there is only so much Apple can fix.  If someone else on the network that has access is deturnomand to be a jerk and interrupt someone else content they would be able to.

  • How can I use an A1082 monitor with my MacBook Pro?

    I received an apple A1082 monitor this past weekend from a friend and we couldn't, and still can't, figure out how it can be used with my MacBook Pro. I know that I need an adapter, but where does it get power from? Thanks in-advance. Richie.

  • Can I use an external monitor as an extension to my workspace

    Could anyone please tell me if I can use an external monitor such as an apple 20” or 30” display as an extension to my workspace. I am using an apple 17”1.5 power book & I would like to drag & drop[p photos etc. from one monitor to another etc.
    17"powerbook 1.5   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    yes, when you connect an external display you can either mirror the laptop display, or have it act as an extended desktop
    this needs the mac to support extended desktop rather than just mirroring, for instance i think ibooks can only mirror but powerbooks can do both

  • Can I use an external monitor in portrait mode?

    I do not yet own a Mac, but I am doing up-front research to know what to expect.
    I currently have a Samsung 204T LCD monitor (DVI) which allows rotating the display into portrait mode.
    I know that OS X supports using an external monitor to extend or mirror the desktop. Can an external monitor be configured for operating in portrait mode? I would expect that this requires the video driver to rotate the display before sending it to the monitor.

    I will leave this answer to my original question.
    I called Apple and was completely disappointed with their answer. They indicated that they would not answer such a question, since they deemed it to be "outside of the scope of Apple support" since my question was deemed "not a consumer-oriented
    question."
    So yesterday, I took my Samsung SyncMaster 204T monitor to the local Apple retailer to try it out on an actual system. I specifically tried it out on the 24" iMac with the nVidia 7300GT graphics card, since that is the system I was interested in.
    It turned out that this monitor works beautifully in portrait mode with the above system using Tiger 10.4.8.
    So, I went and bought it!!

  • Can I use a touch monitor with win 8.1 using bootcamp on MacBook Pro? Thanks.

    I have a MacBook Pro  late 2013. I have installed win 8.1 using bootcamp. Can I attach a touch monitor to use with Win 8.1?

    You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the 13” white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010 none of which can run Windows 8. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

  • LCD TV - can I use as a monitor for my G4

    Is it possible to connect an LCD TV to my G4 so I can mainly use the TV but use the computer as a back up if I need to. There seems to be a lot of LCD TVs that have computer in ports on them - is it that simple? Do I need a special cable? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Claire,
    Nice name, one of the nicest people I ever knew was named Claire.
    Anyhow, it all depends on resolution of your TV and what inputs it has.
    Nice thing about CRT monitors was their ability too change resolution and still look pretty good.
    An LCD display has a "Native" resolution above which it will not go and below which it looks pretty bad.
    The original NTSC standard for TV was 512 H by 3xx something vertical. (WWII era standard) DVD brought this to 640x480 and DV was 720 x 480.
    Most Comp[uter monitors are at least 1280x1024 now so any of the above resolutions are going to be quite limiting for computer use.
    To confuse consumers further, the new "HD" TV's have a couple different standards as well. 720i and 1080p. (I am doing this from memory, may be off on exact names) Those number refer to vertical resolution. So a TV that does 1080 HD res would be minimum for decent computer resolution.

  • How can I use my 2nd TC HD as an attached (non TM) drive?

    I am using my 2nd TC to extend my wi-fi network and would like to use its HD as a SuperDuper back up volume whilst retaining TM backups on the No 1 TC.  Any suggestions please.

    Both of your Time Capsules should show up under the SHARED heading when you open Macintosh HD or the Finder from the dock.
    Can you see them?
    If yes, then SuperDuper should be able to as well....if you have the full featured version of SuperDuper (not free).

  • Can I use a 2nd Airport Express to extend signal?

    I have the AirPort Express 2nd gen.  I play music via my iPhone & iPad when I am "in range" with the AirPort Express thru my home music system.
    If I go outside, my iPhone drops the signal and music stops.  My iPad on the other hand has a stronger signal and the music plays on in the same location.
    Can I purchase a 2nd AirPort Express and use it as a wifi extender or range extender to increase the distance of my wifi signal?
    Or, can I use any wifi router to accomplish this?
    I'd like to stay all Apple, if possible, as mixing Apples and Oranges is not good.
    If so, can someone please tell me how to set this up?
    Thank you all for your valuable assistance.

    The AirPort Express 2008 "extender" is about 80 feet away from the AirPort Express 2012 (new) model.  Is this too far to get a good signal?
    Wireless performance is affected by "interference".  If you have a clear, line-of-sight path between the AirPort devices, then 80 feet may not be too great of a distance.
    But, if there are walls or ceilings or other obstructions in the signal path that "interfere" with the wireless signal, the distance that the signal can travel and maintain decent signal strength and speed is dramatically affected.
    On average, a typical wall (sheetrock and 2 by 4s) in a home will absorb anywhere from 10-20% of the signal.  As you might imagine, a ceiling will absorb even more of the signal since it is thicker and more dense than a wall.
    Heavy furniture, large mirrors (a mirror has a metal backing) will really slow down and absorb the wireless signal as well.
    If the wireless signal must pass through multiple walls, or a ceiling and a few walls, not much of the signal will get through.....even if the distance might be only 20-30 feet between the AirPort devices.

  • Can I use the thunderbolt monitor and a dell monitor with my macbook pro

    can I use the thuderbolt 27" monitor and a dell monitor with my macbook pro at the same time?

    Yes, if it's a Thunderbolt computer, but you will need to connect another Thunderbolt device (such as a disk drive) between the displays.

  • Can you use a VGA monitor on the Mac Pro model?

    I'm considering getting a new Mac Pro to replace my beloved PowerMac G4 MDD. I have a ViewSonic Graphics Series 19" CRT monitor (VGA) that I use as a palette monitor, with a 19" SyncMaster LED as my main monitor (DVI). My PowerMac's video card has both DVI and VGA ports.
    Will I be able to use my VGA monitor with the basic Mac Pro (MB871LL/A)? Will a DVI/VGA video port adapter work, and if so, will it work well? Thanks.

    I had two 19" Viewsonic WS monitors hooked up to my X1900XT on my MacPro and it worked just fine with the VGA/DVI adapters (I got the small 2" white adapters that don't have any "cord" in the middle. I swapped them out for two 22" WS Acer monitors and now use the DVI inputs and I am still happy.
