Samsung U28D590D 4K Display with Late '13 rMBP 15" (750M)

[nateofmelb]

Hi all,

First of all, sorry if this is a bit of a "repeat" thread. Please bare with me.

I have a late 2013 rMBP with the 750M graphics and I'm looking at getting a 4K monitor so I can use my laptop in desktop mode.

Basically, I don't want to "downgrade" in screen quality so I've been looking at affordable 4K options. I'm about to pull the trigger on a Samsung 28" U28D590D but I just need to clear up some things.

1: Will my MacBook be able to play 4K with this monitor?

2: What cable do I use to connect from my MacBook to the external display to get 4K? (if possible) Is it thunderbolt to display port or do I just use HDMI cable? (I believe that will just give me 1080p)

3: I also would like to hookup my PS3 to the display, will that work?

Any help appreciated.

Nate.

3. Many entries do confirm that it's possible. The monitor has an HDMI connector, so why do you think that this wouldn't work.

It shouldwork if you use a DisplayPort cable. You can connect your PS3 using HDMI.
