Does it work with 2560x1600 on DisplayPort at 60Hz (e.g. on Macbook Pro)? This comment suggests otherwise: http://www.amazon.com/review/R36COVJO...

Not sure why one review states the monitor does not work at 60 Hz when using with Display Port. The details provided on the Amazon item page do not list that limitation. I am using the Nixeus 27" with Display Port connected to a Retina MacBook Pro, it works as advertised, but to obtain more information on the 30", you should visit the manufacturer's website. They have more detailed tech specs there. I have found the support person(s) answers in a very timely and accurate manner, should that not suffice. I recommend the 27" Display Port because I no longer like matte screens. Always feels like you need to wipe the haze off, once you get used to the reduced reflective glossy's clarity on the 27". My opinion, of course.

So while HD4000 is more than capable of displaying 2560x1440 the screen doesn't use the faster implementation of HDMI. This means that you can only display full resolution at 30HTz instead of the standard 60. From experience this feels very fuzzy and probably not worth the trouble. 1080P runs fine on HDMI but to get full res you need either dual-dvi or displayport. EDIT: After doing some reading I realized I gave some incorrect data. The screen is speced to be able to run HDMI1.4 which is good enough to run full resolution. If you are using a computer with HDMI1.3 you will be stuck at 30HTz like I explained above.

Well you aren't going to be able to get 2560x1600, which is what retina display is. This monitor has 1920x1200 resolution.

Double check your settings on the monitor. Mine didn't come with DisplayPort 1.2 enabled by default. You may be getting a 30 Hz refresh rate. Similarly, if you're using HDMI and not DisplayPort, you'll be stuck on 30 Hz not 60 Hz. I just turned mine way down and didn't notice any flicker.

Sorry, I didn't try it and currently don't have access to a macbook to test. However I can say this monitor does its job very well and have both VGA and DisplayPort inputs.

I'm not quite sure, but I've heard there have been many problems achieving 120Hz with and HDMI cable. If I were you, however, I'd get display port, it's basically the future. Regardless of that, this monitor is very, very, nice. It's responsive, it looks beautiful, and was rather easy to setup. Definitely worth the price.

No, there aren't any compatibility problems with Mac interface with BenQ monitors. I use the XL2720T with my Macbook Air via D-sub and was able to mirror the display with no problem. I also used the same connection to extend the display with no problem either.

It does indeed run at 60 Hz at the 2560x1440 resolution, but only if you're using DisplayPort or a Dual-Link DVI cable and video card. If you're using a single-link DVI cable and/or video card, you can make the monitor run at 2560x1440@30Hz, but the display prefers to run at 1920x1080@60Hz in this case.

Dear Vinh, Thank you for your question regarding our BlueRigger mini DisplayPort to DVI cable! The cable is a single link cable, not dual link. It will not support the 2560x1440 resolution. Please contact us at service@bluerigger.com if you have any additional questions. Thanks, BlueRigger LLC service@bluerigger.com

Make sure that your video card supports the ultra wide resolution, I returned this monitor because my late 2012 macbook pro didnt seem to be able to handle the max resolution well so everything seemed a bit skewed.

The Fosmon mini displayPort (MiniDP/mDp) to HDMI works well. The problem I had at first with my MacBook Pro wasthat I did not have my display option set to "Mirror" the computer's screen. Now I watch movies etc. on my HDTV.

I'm using mine with an AMD W7000 graphics card. The only time I get 2560x1600 is with a straight through Display Port cable. Any otherl configuration, even with the best adapters (even DVI-D), gets 1920x1080 displayed. No disc required with Windows 7 or Windows Server 2012 R2. After a couple of boots it picked the device itself. Not sure how many though as I was installing all the other drivers required and those needed a lot of reboots.

Hello from Ecomade Arena.No.Mini DisplayPort(Thunderbolt) to DVI adapter does not works.That is Mini DP to DVI-Single adapter, it only support 1920*1080 resolution rate.Mini DP to DVI-dual link adapter can support 2560*1440 resolution.

I have it connected to a 2014 MacBook Pro 13" Retina. The Display Preferences are "Best for display" or "Scaled (1080p, 1080i, 720p, 1600x900)". It also allows 50 Hertz or 60 Hertz Refresh Rate.

It probably doesn't since this type of display port is mostly in Macs. Maybe with a VGA to HDMI adapter it will work.

This monitor has a native resolution of 2560 x 1440 (which is definitely not 4K) and my macbook pro (2013 retina) automatically gave it a full resolution signal with an hdmi cable. So I'm not sure if either previous answer was correct.

I am using it to connect a Seiki 39" 4K monitor to my MacBook Pro Retina, so yes. Seemed to work best on the Mac's HDMI port without the Thunderbolt adapter. The cable that came with the monitor did not give full 4K resolution. HTH.
