Panasonic has 4K TVs with DisplayPort.Are there any 4K tv sets in existence, that possess display ports?
DP 1.2 supports 4K@60Hz with full color. It is better than HDMI 2.0.
Category 2 "High Speed" HDMI 1.3 cable.So I'd need the adapter and an HDMI 2.0 compatible cable.
Category 2 "High Speed" HDMI 1.3 cable.
The only newer cables are Cat 1 and 2 with Ethernet and automotive ones, from 1.4.So the HDMI cable has to be version 1.3 or higher?
The only newer cables are Cat 1 and 2 with Ethernet and automotive ones, from 1.4.
Avoid Cat 1.
This can usually appear as "4K High Speed HDMI cable with Ethernet (and Audio Return Channel)" or similar.okay. So Cat 2 and version 1.4 is what I need.
This can usually appear as "4K High Speed HDMI cable with Ethernet (and Audio Return Channel)" or similar.
But the Ethernet is useless connecting the cable to the Mac.
So if you see "4K High Speed HDMI 1.3 cable" it's OK.Yeah I don't need the ethernet feature. Okay well I'm not ready to buy a 4K TV yet. Just getting all the needed info.
So if you see "4K High Speed HDMI 1.3 cable" it's OK.
I think cables listed with a higher HDMI version number are usually more expensive just because people are misinformed.
A lower version cable could be less expensive but higher grade.
So you need to look that in the description it states that it supports 4K.Well this is a local shop where I get my HDMI cables from. They're all listed as v1.4.

- It doesn't, strictly. Your machine needs to support it. But on a machine with DisplayPort 1.2 and capable graphics (that is, late 2013 and newer for 15" and Early 2015 for 13"), it adds the ability to output 4K 60 Hz over HDMI, which isn't otherwise present on the machines.How does the adapter add this functionality?

- No, it cannot. 30 Hz fine, but not 60 Hz.Mine is a mid-2014 13" rMBP. So mine can't support it?
- No, it cannot. 30 Hz fine, but not 60 Hz.
- Doesn't matter. In your case, the limitation is the graphics capabilities of your machine, not the ports.But that's through HDMI. What about Thunderbolt/display port?

- An actual computer monitor is always better as a computer monitor than a television. Computer monitors are available in 4K as well, which you can run - just not at 60 Hz. So either 30 Hz 4K or 60 Hz something less than 4K (like 3440 x 1440).Hmm okay. So for me to have a bigger monitor it would be better get an actual computer monitor? Even a 1080p computer monitor is a downgrade from a retina display. The image is not nearly as crisp and sharp.

I bought this IPS to watch the Olympics in 3D in 2012:

I know it is FullHD, I had to downgrade from 1200 lines for 3D. And I had to buy a 4KTV later because there's nothing in between."temporarily out of stock". Plus it's only 1080p. The 13" rMBP is 2560 x 1600 which is a much sharper and clear image. I'd notice the pixels on a standard 1080p panel. Once you go retina you can't go back. LOL
