If I connected this to a 1080p tv via hdmi would the picture quality be as good as what Mac has designed it to be?

I have mine connected to a 72" TV. The picture quality is only limited to the picture quality of your TV. So yes, it's as good as Apple designed it to be!

That's what I do and I'm happy with the resolution. Obviously, the quality of the TV's image is the limiting factor. Don't expect the picture to be the same as one of those beautiful (and expensive) Apple monitors. HDMI vs. FIREWIRE? I don't know the specs.

I have mine connected to a 40 inch LG 1080p and it's fantastic. Apples retina displays look better but cost much more. I'm completely satisfied with 1080p and I am perticular about my viewing experience. Hope this helps

Has anyone tried an HDMI connection from a computer into his receiver? I'm considering hooking up a Mac Mini to it and using media server software to send it audio and video.

Sorry, that is an AV setup question that is dependent on your computer and TV capability. Last I checked, USB is not the best AV connection choice when it works. Resolution and bus limitations alone are inferior to pure video output. The cable is excellent for computer to computer data transfer for migration from older Mac to newer Mac.

I am going to guess you are looking for great color reproduction since you are using a Mac. If that is the case I won't I advise you to buy this monitor because although it is a great monitor and performs really well(price to performance ratio) the color reproduction is not that good and the colors look a bit faded, not as bright or crisp as you would want it to be. Hope this answers your question.

I have not tried that and I am not a mac person, but In theory you should be able to plug any HDMI source into it. Whether it be a macbook or dvd player should make no difference. Sorry I'm not more help..

Yes, and it worked out fine for displaying images and else. But not the brightness adjustment and auto-rotate though. That's Mac's compativity issue, not the monitor's.

Turn the video settings on your Mac to 1080i and ensure the cable is pressed all the way in on the HDMI port. See my review of the product for additional information.

I wish I can be more helpful but have not used it in a while. I do remember I had my apple computer and my Sanyo HDTV set to 1080I and the picture looked good but the Sanyo was slightly less sharper then the Computer. While playing a DVD on the MAC and watching it on the Sanyo, I believe the picture on the Sanyo looked better. (Sharper with more detail)

Well, the best way to do it would be the digital way. Doing that is about the same price and you can get a much higher quality of image if you do it that way. What is the model of your Mac?If you have an HDMI port, get this ONLY - AmazonBasics HDMI to DVI Adapter Cable - 9.8 Feet (3 Meters)If you don't have an HDMI port and only a Mini DisplayPort connector, get this.- Cable Matters Gold Plated Mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt Port Compatible) to DVI Cable in White 6 FeetIf you have a DVI connector, get this.- C2G / Cables To Go 26911 DVI-D M/M Dual Link Digital Video Cable, Black(2 Meter/6.56 Feet)I hope this helped.

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.

EDIT: After reviewing current specs on Apple's website, they state that the 13inch macbook pro supports up to only 1080 video output over HDMI at 60hz. Once you go above that resolution, you might be dropped down to 30hz, which I don't think will be a good experience. I don't own a MacBook so cannot say for sure when the hz drop will occur (after 1080 or only once you hit 4k). Hopefully someone else can chime in. https://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/specs-retina/ Original: As long as your MacBook pro has HDMI out and you have the right cable for both ends, I don't see there being any trouble.

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.

It's totally fantastic with my MacBook Pro. It would look great with a Mini, and the high resolution is the same as the resolution of the 27" iMac and the Thunderbolt display.

Hello from Ecomade Arena, That is good question. Due to OS X restriction, Macbook with HDMI max resolution rate is 1920*1080 only. However, windows with HDMI max resolution rate is 2560*1440 (HDMI 1.4 supported graphic card only) so, Macbook user should be connect monitor via DP (Thunderbolt) port only. ASIN : B00HLCNNUO is 27QW DP model. It has DP port. Thank you

I have a Macbook Pro (late 2012 model I believe-last 17" that they made)--that does not have any variation of HDMI port on it. If you're in doubt I'd check the Apple website for the model you have-their tech specs are pretty clear :-)

Unfortunately I don't have a MacBook Pro, so that was not a concern; but I have mine plugged into a Mac Mini with excellent quality. This monitor ships with both VGA & HDMI cables; if your box can accept these, you're good to go. Power would not be an issue since the monitor has its own AC adapter plug. I think it would be an excellent compliment and good investment for a laptop. The owners manual for this screen is downloadable if you need further assurance. Apple want $1000 for this quality; so I feel I got more than a great deal.
