MBP retina compatible with Dell 4K monitor?

I've got a mid 2012 MacBook Pro Retina 15" with 2,6 gHz i7, 16gb memory and
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB screen card
Thinking of buying the new Dell UltraSharp 32 UltraHD 4Kmonitor (that's quite a name, eh)
http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&cs=19&sku=210-AC BL
Will the monitor work fine with the MBP
Will I be able to enjoy full 4K 3840 x 2160 resolution, or just the 2880 x 1800 "retina" resolution
Should I connect it with HDMI, or Thunderbolt/Mini Display?

Doesn't look like it:
Graphics and Video Support
Intel HD Graphics 4000
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory and automatic graphics switching
Dual display and video mirroring: Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display and up to 2560 by 1600 pixels on up to two external displays, at millions of colors
Native Mini DisplayPort output
DVI output using Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter (sold separately)
VGA output using Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter (sold separately)
Dual-link DVI output using Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter (sold separately)
Thunderbolt digital video output

  • MBP retina 15'' with dell ultrasharp u2713hm

    Hi.
    Does anyone know if these 2 work together?
    do I need any special cable to use the max resolution of  2560-by-1440 that the monitor supports?
    Thank you!

    Hello TimeSeeker,
    I currently use a Dell U3011, basically a 30" version of the Dell U2713. 
    I use it with my MacBook Pro15 w/Retina display.  BobTheFisherman is right about the TB.  The primary advantage of the Apple TB 27" dispaly is the ability to Daisy Chain TB devices and also use the TB link to provide a wired network connection at GIgabit rates.  The ability for TB to handle data as well as video is what makes it a TB port instead of a Mini-Display port.  It can also provide power via the mag safe cable. 
    I have had my U3011's (I actuallly have two for photography and video work) for a couple of years, originally I used them with a MacBookAir, MacMini and a Windows based PC for flight simulation. There was a little frustration at first getting a Display Port to MiniDisplay Port cable that  worked well enough.   I finally got one throught StarTech.
    The Dell's have served me well  I particularly like the 16:10 aspect ratio.  The Apple TB is a 16:9, minor difference and personal preference.  All that being said, I am seriously considering buying an Apple TB display for the Mac connectiivity it provides. 
    One last word of caution, if you want to mix platforms, Mac and Window, I'd recommend sticking with the Dell.  It provides connectivity to both platforms but doesn't have the Mac platorm features of the Apple TB display.  Good luck.

  • Is the thunderbolt display compatible with Dell laptop (Latitude 6430)?

    Is the thunderbolt display compatible with Dell laptop (Latitude 6430)?

    Since the specs for the Dell laptop (Latitude 6430) do not list ThunderBolt as one of the supported bus structures that means it does not have a ThunderBolt port to connect the ThunderBolt display to. Hence is not compatible.

  • Macbook Pro with Retina Display with Dell U2412m external monitor

    I recently purchased the Dell U2412m monitor on Amazon hoping to use it as my external monitor to my Macbook pro 15" with retina display, however, when I finish setting it up, there's a red/pink vertical line showing on my screen. Does anyone know what seems to be the problem and how do I get rid of the line. Is there anything I need to set up on the monitor to make it compatible with MBP with retina?? Thanks in advance.

    I used a mini display port to display port cable and my screen looked fine. My problem was that the USB ports did not work and dealing with Dell customer service was a nightmare.

  • MBP retina 15 with samsung 27 external monitor

    Hi everyone.
    I recently bought a MBP retina, and I am thinking of getting an external samsung 27 inch monitor (Full HD).
    is there a dicernable difference between these and the Apple 27 thunderbolt display?
    I mean will I notice the difference in photos, web design etc... if I go to the cheaper Samsung than the Thunderbolt display?
    Thanks!

    The only thing that I can think of that may be a problem is getting the full 2560x1440 resolution from the Samsung. I don't know, though... I went for the Apple Thunderbolt Display for two reasons - the compatibility with my MacBook Pro and because I can (and do) use it as a Thunderbolt 'hub'.
    You may want to contact Samsung to see what sort of resolution you could expect out of their monitor. It may be limited to 1920x1080...
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • Macbook pro retina 15" to Dell 4K monitor

    Hi
    I am thinking of buying a Macbook Pro 15" retina (top of the range with Nvidia 750) and a Dell 4K monitor (UP2414Q or UP3214Q).  Can anyone confirm - preferably by having done it themselves! -  that (1) either of these monitors can be connected, at least via HDMI at 30Hz, and (2) it supports mirroring (i.e. I want to use the laptop in clamshell mode with the Dell display as the sole monitor)
    I realise there is a lot of discussion about how to connect 4K monitors via Thunderbolt at 60Hz, but the faster refresh is not very important for me.  I just want to know I HDMI at 30Hz works for either of the Dell 4Ks.
    Finally, given that I only want to connect a single 4K monitor and 30Hz refresh is OK for me, can you tell me if there is any advantage to spending 2K more and getting a Mac Pro? 
    Cheers, Mike

    Short answer: I have this exact configuration, and yes, the newest rMBP 15" w/Nvidia card will drive the UP3214Q over HDMI at 4k and 30Hz. It will drive it as a separate desktop with the laptop open, and it will drive it as the sole display -- either way works fine.
    Longer answer: You should be aware of 2 things (that I wish I had been more aware of before purchasing the monitor)
    1) If you are used to 60Hz or higher, the 30Hz limitation over HDMI is noticable, even in day-to-day productivity work. The mouse lag is very noticable and annoying to me.
    2) Scaling/HiDPI support [the way the integrated retina display works] is virtually nonexistant at the resolution you'd want to run it at. What this means is that you either run the monitor at a lower resolution (and everything is blurry), or you run it at full resolution and everything (menu, dock, fonts, etc) is extremely small. You can use SwitchResX to enable scaling support at odd resolutions (for instance, I've successfully gotten HiDPI/scaling to run at 1920x1200 and 2048x1080, with black bars at the edges), but it's not an ideal resolution for this size monitor. I want to match the TB display resolution (2560x1440) in HiDPI mode, but I've been unable to get it working after hacking away at it for 2 days.
    I'm hoping that Apple will fix these limitations. Multiple people have reported that MST over DP1.2 works on the same hardware if you boot into Windows, so the hardware support is there -- it just needs to be enabled in the drivers by Apple. Whether they actually will or not is anyone's guess. In the meantime I (and many others) are in limbo wondering if we should return these 4k displays, or keep them and hope "proper" support comes. Since it's not a specifically advertised capability, Apple isn't under any obligation, but I think there's more than a few people hoping that Apple does right by the users and enables the full functionality that the hardware supports.

  • New Mac Mini with Lion Video Problem With Dell E228WFP monitor

    Just purchased a new mini Mac 2.3 with Lion pre installed.  I connected to my old Dell E228WFPI monitor via the Mini Display to VGA adapter.  The mini mac worked fine for an hour until I put it to sleep.  It would not rewake.  After rebute the gray screen and apple logo appear with clock, but after clock screen to black and monitor goes to power saver mode.  Took unit to apple store twice and could not resolve problem by changing resolution or other methiods.  Finally, we learned that the system works fine using Belkin HDMI to DVI cable.  This Dell Monitor had DVI connector.  Hope this helps...

    How can a computer that's been turned off (and I mean completely OFF) get a network request? Only a sleeping computer should react to such a request. If you're sure you shut down (Apple Menu, Shut Down), then only an internal power supply or logic board problem should cause this. The only way it could be software is if Lion is not shutting down the computer but is instead putting it to sleep. Is it a new Mac Mini? If so, you should have it replaced or repaired.

  • Mac Mini I-7 2.0 (server edition) won't work with Dell 2709W monitor via HDMI

    I just got a Mac Mini I7 quad 2.0.  It's the server edition with an HDMI port.  I plug my Dell 2709W monitor in and it continously flickers on and off and shows a green screen and the desktop for short intervals.  Can anyone help with this issue.

    Does the monitor work OK when connected to another HDMI output device?
    Does the Mini HDMI output work OK when connected to another HDMI device?
    You have selected the HDMI input on the monitor, right?

  • PB G4 with Dell 2407WFP monitor?

    Hi, J. The reply I posted earlier today to a similar question about a Sony monitor is also largely applicable to your inquiry.

  • MBP Retina problem with SSD 512 disk on Mountain Lion

    Hi, I'm using the latest (10.8.2) on my MBP Retina, with a 512 ssd.
    Once a week, if I check the disk with the utility disk, it says I must fix it, restarting with cmd+r. I do it, run the utility disk and fix everything.
    Then for few days it's fine until it says, againg, that the error is orphanaged blocks.
    I'm using filevault and don't run anything particular, during the week.
    How can I fix it once for all?
    Thanks

  • Macbook pro goes into power save mode with dell sp2208wfp monitor.

    I have a macbook pro and am trying to connect it to a dell sp2208wfp monitor, I am using a hdmi cord and it goes straight to power save mode. My mac works on my roommates monitor and his PC works on my monitor but my mac doesn't work on my monitor. I've read the other forums and have found nothing. One guy suggested plugging the mac into a power source still nothing, any solutions before I try and sell this thing on craigslist?

    Had the same issue a few months ago when I tried connecting to external monitor, it is only possible to run external displays from a Macbook Pro while the power cable is attached, if you try and connect to external display without having the charger attached the external display will flash your desk top for a second and then your Macbook Pro will go to sleep.  Hence connect your charger every time you wish to connect to external display, its not a problem with your Macbook Pro, it's just the way of Apple. Hope that helps.

  • MBP Retina issues with ATV 3rd gen

    Hi there,
    I have been attempting to use airplay on my ATV 3rd gen on my MBP retina and have not been successful. All my other devices work (ipad, iphone) not sure what the issue may be. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    AirPlay in general or AirPlay Mirroring?
    Is your MBP-R running the latest OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)?
    Is AirPlay activated on your ATV?
    Are your MPB-R and ATV signed into the same Apple ID?
    Are your MBP-R and ATV on the same subnet?
