Hey there, so glad to hear from you! With your current MacBook Pro i5, it honestly all depends on the TV you buy. MacBook (Retina, 12in) requires USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter. Mirroring is not supported when using 4096x2160 at 24Hz option. MacBook (Retina,12in) Resolution options using built-in HDMI are 3840x2160 at 30Hz or 4096x2160 at 24Hz.MacBook Pro (Retina, 15in, Late 2013 and later).MacBook Pro (Retina, 13in, Late 2013 and later).The resolutions and refresh rates are not the same for each machine though. Other Apple computers support 4K external displays using either the built-in HDMI port and/or using Mini DisplayPort adapters via Thunderbolt. They also support external 4K displays using Mini DisplayPort adapters via Thunderbolt. The resolution of the 4K 21.5in iMac is a full 4K, 4096x2304, and the 5K 27in iMac has a resolution of 5120x2880. Which Macs support 4K? Apple has two computers with built in displays with 4K and even 5K resolution: the new 4K Retina 21.5in iMac and the 5K Retina 27in iMac introduced in late 2014. Watching 4K video shot at 60 FPS on a display with 24Hz will appear choppy compared to a display with 60Hz. The human eye can’t tell the difference between 4K UHD and full 4K, but it can when it comes to the refresh rate (Hz). The higher the number of Hz the smoother video appears on the display. TVs and monitors that say they are 4K UHD, or just UHD, have a resolution of 3840x2160.įull 4K is a resolution of 4096x2304.

4K means there are ~4000 pixels per horizontal line. Like 720p and 1080p, 4K is a resolution in which images and video can be displayed on a TV or monitor. This guide will help you with what you might want to know about viewing and even editing 4K content on a Mac. You may have seen 4K TVs for sale, or now have a device that records video in 4K (iPhone 6S and 6S Plus) and you’re wanting to know more about it. If this LED is on, it indicates there is a graphics card installed. The Mac Pro (Early 2008) logic board includes a set of LEDs to help service. I am subscribed to Lou from Unbox Therapy on YouTube and over on Vessel and he and his team are really smart. It might account for some of it, mainly because I think you are only supposed to use 3 4 k monitors with the Mac Pro, however since it is a TV there might be an exception.
