Hi there,

anyone know if if my MacBook Pro Retina 13, Early 2015 12,1 can do 4k at 60Hz with a USB C to DisplayPort adapter? If so, can someone recommend one to get please?

Thanks

Kevin

Thanks for this... I'm still not sure from that if it can run one display at 4k 60 Hz......

Disregard my latest post I am wrong, you can run 4k at 60Hz by using the minidisplay port as it is 1.2 (via Thunderbolt 2)
The HDMI is however 1.4 which only supports 4k at 30Hz.

So what you will need is a minidisplay to HDMI 2.0 (or higher?) which will support 4k at 60Hz

What good is a USB-C adapter going to do on a 2015?

I had a 2015 MBP 13" and had 4K at 60Hz with an NEC professional display.

You need to make sure the connection is right.

You must use DisplayPort not HDMI. That means using the thunderbolt port on your MacBook Pro .. connecting to the DisplayPort input on your monitor.

You can get a picture using HDMI and other combinations but they won't be 4K at 60Hz.

Make sure you get a compliant cable.
