Interestingly this week I was planning to upgrade my setup buying 2 Samsung monitors 4K for the MBP. And from what I've investigated I concur that HDMI is a no-no. All is pointing to Thunderbolt<->DisplayPort adapters as the way to achieve 60Hz in 4K
- Kirby64 7y agoHDMI is fine for 4k 60hz if it supports HDMI2. Depends on the adapter. If you have an old-school MBP that still has an HDMI port, that port definitely can't do 4k 60hz. Both Thunderbolt 2 and Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) would be fine for supporting 4k 60hz. Whether it's over HDMI or DisplayPort ultimately doesn't matter, it's the adapter that'll matter more.
- sebastianconcpt 7y agoYes. And to add something to this, you might be able to find a cable instead of an adapter. One like this: Monitor <-- male DisplayPort* ---- male mini DisplayPort --> MacBook Pro *I has to be DisplayPort 1.2 or newer (they are backward compatible)
