    Monitor Compatability
    « on: September 22, 2016, 11:49:58 AM »
    Hello. I am looking to buy a 2560x1440 monitor from dell. I know that there is sometimes issues when trying to display 4k. Like I know onlly some macs can support 4k at 60 hz. I was wondering how I can determine if my computer can support a 2560x1440 monitor at 60hz? Sorry, hopefully that makes sense. I have a link to the monitor below and a link to my computer. Thanks guys!

    I have a bit of a problem. Basically, i have an HP L1908w monitor and i connect a VGA to that one one end, on the other end there is an HDMI cable with connects to my thunderbolt adapter thing. But when i connect it, it doesn't show the screen. The monitor works but it only says Check video cable but nothing is wrong with it. Any help?
    So some people are having trouble.

      Thank you. I have found the answer I was looking for. Here are references for anyone in a similar position. The mid-2012 macbook pros support up to 2560x1400.
