Írtam már erről a témáról, de részben az OS X változásai, részben az újabb és újabb nagy felbontású kijelzők miatt érdemes az aktuális állapotot felfrissíteni.
Az Apple a support oldalain rendszeresen összefoglalja a tudnivalókat, a napokban frissítésre kerültek az információk, erre szeretném ezúton is felhívni a figyelmet. Már az új 12 inches MacBook is szerepel a 4k/UHD külső monitorokkal kompatibilis hordozható gépek között

- 3840×2160 at 30 Hz refresh rate
- 4096×2160 at 24 Hz refresh rate (mirroring is not supported at this resolution)
Single-Stream (SST) displays
With OS X Mavericks v10.9.3 or later, the following DisplayPort displays are supported at their default using single-stream transport at 30Hz.
- Sharp PN-K321
- ASUS PQ321Q
- Dell UP2414Q
- Dell UP3214Q
- Panasonic TC-L65WT600
With OS X Yosemite v10.10.3, most single-stream 4K (3840×2160) displays are supported at 60Hz operation on the following Mac computers:
- MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015)
- MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014)
- Mac Pro (Late 2013)
- iMac (27-inch, Late 2013 and later)
- MacBook Air (Early 2015)
With OS X Yosemite v10.10.3, most single-stream 4K (4096×2160) displays are supported at 60Hz operation on the following Mac computers:
- Mac Pro (Late 2013)
- iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014)
Multi-Stream Transport (MST) Displays
These computers also support multi-stream transport (MST) displays at 60 Hz.
- MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013 and later)
- MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015)
- Mac Pro (Late 2013)
- iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014)
If you use a 60Hz MST display with the MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013) or iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014), only one additional Thunderbolt display can be supported. Learn more about Thunderbolt ports and displays.
You need to manually configure 4K displays to use MST. Follow the steps below to use the display’s built-in controls to enable this feature.
- Sharp PN-K321: Choose Menu > Setup > DisplayPort STREAM > MST > SET
- ASUS PQ321Q: Choose OSD menu > Setup > DisplayPort Stream
- Dell UP2414Q and UP3214Q: Choose Menu > Display Setting > DisplayPort 1.2 > Enable
- Panasonic TC-L65WT600: Choose Menu > Display Port Settings > Stream Setting > Auto
Your Mac will automatically detect an MST-enabled display. However, your display may require a firmware update to support 60Hz operation. Please contact your display vendor for details. If your specific DisplayPort display is not listed above, check with the display’s manufacturer for compatibility information.
Dual-Cable Displays
Some displays with resolutions higher than 4K require two DisplayPort cables to connect the display at full resolution. With OS X Yosemite v10.10.3 or later, the Dell UP2715K 27-inch 5K display is supported on the following Mac computers:
- Mac Pro (Late 2013)
- iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014)
Adjusting your display
Use System Preferences > Displays to adjust or scale the resolution on your display. This can make text and objects appear larger or give you more space on your screen.
Hovering your mouse over one of the resolution options will show more detail on that option. To get a Detect Displays button to appear, press the Option key. To see all the available resolutions, hold down the Option key while clicking the Scaled button.
If you change display resolutions when mirroring to a 4K display or Ultra HD TV, some distortion can occur. Turn mirroring off and back on to correct this. Get the best graphics performance from your 4K display by directly attaching the display or its dongle/adapter to your Mac. Do this rather than connecting through another peripheral or device.

4K displays and Ultra HD TVs using Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 with Boot Camp use the same rules as OS X. If you upgrade from Windows 8 to 8.1, you should repair Boot Camp drivers.
