Dell P2715Q and P2415Q 4K IPS Displays

I have a 2012 15" rMBP and it doesn't support 4K at 60 Hz.
How's the upscale from 2K in this monitor? I'm between getting the P2717Q or the U2715H (native 2K). If the upscale it's not so bad I will consider buying the P2715Q to not have to change it again when I eventually upgrade my Macbook.

Hey everyone,
As far as I see, these monitors have a minidisplayport In and displayport In - is it possible to connect an osx machine and a windows machine and use the monitor to switch between them while providing 4k 60hz both?
Thinking of gathering a windows machine for gaming-only, however if it's not possible for this monitor to switch between the two, I will probably dismiss the idea

I've maybe not *exactly* the answer you're looking for, however, I have two Macs connected to one of my two P2715Q displays - a late-2013 rMBP connected to the DP port and 2012 Mini Server connected to the mDP port. I use the OSM to switch Macs - the Mini Server hosts my files and the rMBP is my main Mac. I've also connected an AppleTV to the HDMI port, using the OSM to watch a bit of entertainment.
I see no reason why you can't use a Mac and PC in the same vein. Neither my Mini or ATV provide 4k input, but the display I share devices with "remembers" a device's input settings 99% of the time.
switching inputs is one thing, but at least 2 inputs being able to support 4k at 60hz is something else
it has displayport and minidisplayport that both support 4k. check the spec sheet.
Jumping in back here, kaans was asking about 4k at 60Hz - read kaans' original post about this matter. I'd already posted feedback in this regard - and, there's no "spec sheet" (my small company has 15 of these displays, including two on my desk, and I can offer that there is no "spec sheet" for this display...).
I don't know what you are trying to achieve, however, there is no technical spec sheet available, you can't see what resolution each input support, for example, can you answer whether the HDMI supports 4k at 60Hz with certainty? I don't think so
(the webpage/"tech specs" page is more like an ad with some basic info)
It's a general issue with most monitors, you can't asses the capabilities easily before actualy trying, that's why I asked the question in the first place, thanks a lot campyguy for your input
IMO you're attempting to pick nits - I design and build bridges and rehab commercial buildings for a living, that's not spec sheet. The web page is a web page with some of the display's "technical specifications" and is IMO marketing data with a "tech data" label, and that web page does not contain key data about the displays, including resolutions (not just the optimal resolution), which version of HDMI/DP is included, or even whether it's a TR or TRS speaker-out jack. The manual isn't great in this regard, either. Let's help kaans or go fishing...
I have just purchased two of the P2715Q's and have them running on my nMP (2013). I've noticed one of the monitors blinks black periodically, maybe once an hour or so. It's not that frequent (I run them scaled to 2560x1440). However, I ran them both at 4k for a bit, and noticed they started blinking black about once a minute. It was really annoying. Any idea why they're doing this? (handshake issues perhaps?) Is one of the monitors faulty, or should I have rebooted to clear up the issue? I didn't reboot between res switches.
After struggling with the 15" screen of my mid 2014 I decided I needed a bigger size screen so I ordered the P2715Q today. I hope it will work for me and I don't have to return it.
Dell monitors are all glitchy like that, as I read online and based on my own experience
Out of curiosity, have you tried switching the monitors to see whether it's an issue with the cable or that specific DP port?
I'm also having that issue, the monitor turns completely black for a few seconds even the audio stops it happens to me like every 15 minutes. Running at full 4k resolution on a mid 2014 rMBP.
Just got my P2715Q. Amazing Panel, but very ugly design compared to the U2515H which i bought just a week before.
Best bang for buck U2515H, just amazing display. If you want retina quality, there is only one way..
btw, I'm sending the U2515H back and will keep the 4k display. I'm running a late 2013 mbp with "just" iris pro.

Yeah, when I tried 2 P2715Qs with my 5K iMac (not at the same time), both flickered and I returned them. P2415Q was rock solid though.
Just got the 2715q, using with my late 2013 15" rMBP (w/ the 750M) in SST on 10.10.5. As other have mentioned, I notice a slight UI lag when using quick look and expose. Also, the monitor goes into power safe mode when restarting the MBP.
Can anyone who has one of the "officially supported" (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202856) MBPs (in SST at 60Hz)...
..confirm that the monitor doesn't go dark/unresponsive (in clamshell mode) when restarting?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks in advance!
Hi, i buyed the p2715q and i'm using with a 2009 Mac Pro with gtx960, via displayport/minidisplayport
BUT
if i set monitor in high resolutions (like 3840x2160) i see text and windows very very microscopic!!!
I see that macbookrpo with retina displays have a feature for increasing the text dimensions (THIS: http://d3psh0grn8s087.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/qtRetinaMacDisplaySettings.png ) , but I have not! How can I activate this feature? There is some app? Or terminal?
tks!

Hello,
switchresx is not working properly in El Capitan, at least is not working in case ( even switchresx beta 4.5.2).
I just bought the DELL P2415Q for my mac retina 13 late 2013, and I could not get it into work with 51 Hz 3840 x 2160p, switchresx says that my custom resolutions are 'not installed', I have tried everything ( I switched off the 'System Integrity Protection' of El Capitan in the 'bios').
I didnt want to return to Yosemite lag lag version even knowing that I am working with a Public Beta, El Capitan is like 10x faster at least in terms of UI Performance ( and I thanks the Universe because Yosemite was barely usable in my opinion ( well, usable but frustrating if you use it to work), so I was struggling to get the DELL to work in 1080p HiDPI.
After hours searching, I have it working, I managed to modify the plist of the DELL with the IODisplayEDID of the Samsung U28D590, another 4K monitor. It allowed my to successfully use 1080p HiDPI, but the screen is of course recognized by OSX as the Samsung model.
I want to propose here to work for a DELL P2415Q plist file, so we can configure directly our monitor with a list of all posible resolution without the need of using the switchresx.
Anyone have the DELL working in the Capitan 10.11 Pubic Beta 2?
