![]() The Dell monitors actually look very good at that resolution - just a little soft, but definitely acceptable. So instead, I run them both at 2560x1440 60hz. To get 4k resolution that way, I have to run them both at 30hz which is awful for daily use. As an aside, I do have them daisy chained when connected to a Lenovo ThinkPad w540 that only has one DP port. I tried to daisy chain them, but it isn't possible from the Mac. So I have no more display ports available, since the MacBook only comes with two. And I have to connect them both directly to the display ports. They are fantastic monitors! To make it work, I have to make sure that each monitor has MST mode turned off. The fans still come on normally and frequently when using Parallels, though. I didn't notice the fans coming on any more than normal with the monitors plugged in. I now have 2 Dell P2715Q 4k monitors and they both run in full 4k resolution at 60hz when connected to my MacBook Pro. I can't speak for certain on the 13" MacBook Pro, but I have the 15" MacBook Pro Retina (late 2013). The BIG piece of evidence against the new macbook pro's supporting 4K through the thunderbolt port is that on apple's tech specs page they specifically mention 4K under the HDMI section but make no mention of it under the thunderbolt 2 section. And the two generations of Thunderbolt technology are compatible with each other."Īlso, the Apple mini displayport support page has not been updated since 2012 but I believe it is just showing old information "Now with Thunderbolt 2 built into the new Mac Pro and MacBook Pro with Retina display, you can connect the latest 4K desktop displays and get double the bandwidth for your peripherals. Plus, on apple's thunderbolt page they specifically mention connecting a 4K display to a macbook pro through the thunderbolt port (not which is suggested by the support page listed above): My evidence of this is that on the ifixit teardown they found a an Intel DSL 5520 Thunderbolt 2 controller which according to Intel's and Wikipedia's website is falcon ridge which means it should support Display port 1.2 natively. As it seems you have found, using SwitchResX or other 3rd party applications must be used on previous Mac systems in order to create a custom resolution to achieve 4K at 60Hz, however, in our experience some customers have better results than others. However, I think it does include 60Hz support (although not mentioned on apple's website). Hardware: Macbook Pro 13 Retina late 2013, Monitor 4K, 27 BenQ PD2700U Software. I suggest you open a Wavlink Support ticket and see if the issue is due to not being compatible with Montery OS if the latest Wavlink driver doesn't work.I also am very confused by this because per apple's support page it only supports 4K via HDMI at 30Hz but SHOULD support 60Hz via a mini display port 1.2 specification built into thunderbolt 2. I checked the cable, playstation can output 4K 60Hz no problem. The Manual shows it being compatible with MacOS-X. It could be not compatible with your new Dell Monitor.Īlso since that is a new MacOS it might not be 100% compatible. Have you tried to see if you get with a different Monitor. If you haven't installed this latest Driver for your wavlink Docker that might be the reason why you aren't getting the proper resolutions.Īt Amazon it does mention that it supports DP & HDMI other Wavlink Docker (UMD-03) that I had posted mentioned that its maximum DP & HDMI was at and not 60hz Strange but your Wavlink Model doesn't show up at WavLink Website, but it does mention a very recent Driver but for MacOS-X for it: Found the model at Amazon with its specs: Seems like Monterey is a new OS.Įdited my reply because I was showing the wrong Wavlink Model. MacOS comes with its own built in native AMD Drivers.
