Using 4K displays on the rMBP

[alphaod]

So, I'm planning to buy a 4K TV and obviously there isn't much content out there that is 4K, so I will most likely use my Mac as a source.

Has Apple fixed the issue with 4K video in OS X via HDMI or do I need to find some other way to connect to the TV?

Which OS X issue? It is a hardware issue, AFAIK.

Btw:

My HDMI video output

Support for 1080p resolution at up to 60Hz
Support for 3840-by-2160 resolution at 30Hz
Support for 4096-by-2160 resolution at 24Hz

Hmm 24hz is not really enough. Can it run at 60hz for 4k over thunderbolt ?

Under windows 8.1, it is said to be yes
So I guess it's a software issue: Mavericks doesn't support it yet
This is not strange because Apple's 4K display has not arrived yet

Cool. I hope they can do 4k for the same price as the current 27"

Don't count on that.

Thunderbolt 2 supports 4k over displayport 1.2

I have the original rMBP; anyways the TV doesn't support Thunderbolt either.

You'll get 60Hz 4K only over HDMI 2.0, which isn't really in use right now. Other than that, as mentioned above, DisplayPort 1.2 is your best bet.

What inputs does your TV support?

EDIT: Didn't realise that the OP hasn't yet purchased the TV. If you plan to use the TV with a Mac for a while, definitely go for something that supports DisplayPort. Sony is no good (XBR series only supports HDMI). Panansonic, as recommended below, should do.

Panasonic WT600 has HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.2a
