Hi folks,

In preparation for the Mac Pro which I will eventually be able to afford in Jan/Feb, I went and bought a 28 inch, 4k ASUS monitor the PB287Q

Initial experience was quite poor, the built in scaling options in Yosemite gave me 1080p but very blurry, not the retina look I was expecting. Apparently it wasn't enabling hiDPI.

So I installed SwitchResX. I noticed I wasn't running hiDPI. I looked at the custom resolutions but unfortunately 1080p HiDPI only seems to support 30z

See attached 1080p/60 with no HiDPI and 1080p/30 with HiDPI
I am running the latter currently as its easier on the eyes to read from, but the lag is irritating.

I'm outputting over Displayport 1.2 from a Macbook Pro 13 inch late 2013
