I mentioned previously that I had to purchase Belkin cable to make it work.

It works with my vintage Mac Pro 1.1 running Lion and updated 1 gb graphics card and the $99 Apple adapter with the usb connector for additional power. I am also running a view sonics 27" screen at lower res simultaneously

I was wondering the same thing. I just received this and hooked it up to my MacBook Pro and Dell 2713HM. This will not display the max resolution (2500 x 1600) with a MacBook Pro. If you want to connect your Mac and get max resolution read this thread on the Apple Forum: https://discussions.apple.com/message/21188073?searchText=dell%202713#21188073 as an example of why and what to do.

Dear Vinh, Thank you for your question regarding our BlueRigger mini DisplayPort to DVI cable! The cable is a single link cable, not dual link. It will not support the 2560x1440 resolution. Please contact us at service@bluerigger.com if you have any additional questions. Thanks, BlueRigger LLC service@bluerigger.com

I note that for my 2011 MacBook Pro that has a thunderbolt port, a 3rd party site claims "The maximum resolution supported on an external display is 2560x1600."

I'm using mine with an AMD W7000 graphics card. The only time I get 2560x1600 is with a straight through Display Port cable. Any otherl configuration, even with the best adapters (even DVI-D), gets 1920x1080 displayed. No disc required with Windows 7 or Windows Server 2012 R2. After a couple of boots it picked the device itself. Not sure how many though as I was installing all the other drivers required and those needed a lot of reboots.

The main issue is that your Mac has DVI-D port or proper DVI-Dual link gender.By the Nvidia specification, GTX285 support 2560*1660 Resolution.http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-285/specificationsMac OS X is little bit different from Windows OS.So I suggest you find more information before buying this kind of bypass monitor.Otherwise, I just want to suggest Multi port monitor. (RGB, DVI-D, HDMI and DP port)Cheers!

To display 2560x1440, you need the dual link DVI cable (came with the monitor) and a dual link DVI to Thunderbolt/USB adapter. We got the Apple brand adapter and it works well.

i have mine connected via dvi to hdmi. using a macbook first gen. the black is black.... is not as black as the actully tv.... but im not sure how much blacker it could be... its not gray or anything like that. the overscanning is nice if you have it adjusted to "just scan" it will do a very good job. and you wont have the black bars on both sides of the tv like you would if you used 16:9

I have it connected to a 2014 MacBook Pro 13" Retina. The Display Preferences are "Best for display" or "Scaled (1080p, 1080i, 720p, 1600x900)". It also allows 50 Hertz or 60 Hertz Refresh Rate.

That is a correct question. I'm a seller, ecomadearena. I'm living in Korea South and I'm a authorized dealer of this brand monitor. Basically, this kind of bypass monitor has only one DVI-Dual link input. Resolution rate is 2560x1440(1600). Macbook users should have to use Mini Display port to Dual-link DVI (DVI-D) adapter. In apple store, above adapter price is USD 99.00 Some buyers choose monoprice's mini DP to DVI-D adapter. that is more cheaper price than original apple adapter. Additionally, I'm a business seller live in Korea South. I'm a actually official dealer of this kind of monitor. In my personal opinion, there is multi input monitor, DP port, DVI, HDMI, RGB Qnix and X-star is twins brand. X-star DP2710 MDP model has DP port from the birth. So, it is important to choose proper monitor for your purpose. -------- Samsung PLS wide panel monitor ---------- Qnix QX2710 Glossy or Matte panel : Wide purpose, Gaming monitor - overclockable. X-Star DP2710 Glossy or Matte panel : Twins model with Qnix QX2710 - overclockable. X-Star DP2710 MDP : Multi input monitor with DP port (ASIN: B00ED8KCD0) In short, I suggest bypass monitor to desktop users and gamer who want overclockable monitor Laptop and Macbook users are suggested X-Star DP2710 MDP model or something like this model. Good luck!

Have my doubts, go online or check the manual and check the max resolution if 2560 it will work.

I did not have success using this product to connect a MacBook Pro to a number of different monitors. I connected a the DVI-D end with a dongle to my mac, and I plugged the HDMI port into the monitors. Maybe I was using it backwards but I don't think so, it would work for about 30 seconds before the screen would blur with a red snow.

I have not had great success with the new macbook pro. The extended monitor goes black and I have to unplug the cable and reattach to get the extended screen back up again. The extended monitor is a PB278Q ASUS. I don't know if the cable is the problem. Apple support told me that they only support dual dvi with their adapter for 2560 x 1080.

I'm afraid I can't answer your question, but it sounds like you might be able to answer mine. I connected the monitor to a DVI to DVI cable, and connected that to a DVI-Mini-display adapter to my 2011 MacBook Pro. But the monitor isn't recognizing that there's a digital connection and the computer isn't recognizing any external display (and I rebooted both and disconnected and reconnected all cables). Samsung tech support told me that if I wasn't having any luck, then it meant the machines weren't compatible but they couldn't confirm that for sure -- they essentially shrugged. It sounds like you had success with the connection (even if not calibration). Can you confirm and describe your set up? Thanks in advance.

Yes, it does the full resolution over HDMI. I am driving it on a 2013 MacBook Pro Retina. However, older HDMI ports may not support it. My MacMini only does 1080p, but this is because of the computer and not because HDMI itself doesn't support it.

Does work with Mac, assuming your Mac supports 4K output. 30hz is pretty bad for gaming unless it is low-motion stuff like Plants vs Zombies, because 30hz limits you to 30 frames per second and feels laggy no matter what you are doing (gaming or not!). All movies, fast or slow, should be okay since movies are almost always filmed at just 24 frames per second. My advice is to wait 3 to 6 months for other 4k monitors to come out with 60 hz capability. Right now, there are no true 4k movies for sale, and unless you spent a fortune on your computer (&gt; $3000), then chances are it won't play recent games very well at 4k resolution.

So while HD4000 is more than capable of displaying 2560x1440 the screen doesn't use the faster implementation of HDMI. This means that you can only display full resolution at 30HTz instead of the standard 60. From experience this feels very fuzzy and probably not worth the trouble. 1080P runs fine on HDMI but to get full res you need either dual-dvi or displayport. EDIT: After doing some reading I realized I gave some incorrect data. The screen is speced to be able to run HDMI1.4 which is good enough to run full resolution. If you are using a computer with HDMI1.3 you will be stuck at 30HTz like I explained above.
