Do I need an extra cable or adapter to connect this display to a Thunderbolt port (as found on a Retina MacBook Pro 15"), or is everything in the box?

There is a Display Port to Mini Display port cable so ---&gt; mDP to macbook, DP to monitor, walla 4k goodness, make sure your macbook is late 2013 for 4k to work, it will only work @ 30hz under mac os, but will run fine @ 60hz in windows via bootcamp,

Replace the DisplayPort cable, it sucks.Buy another, much thicker one,one that's rated for 2160 x 3840 pixels, 60 Hz, IPS, DisplayPort 1.2 . Seriously.With a bad/poor cable, like the one that comeswith the $700 Dell UltraSharp UP2414Q,you might be forced into 29 Hz, low-res mode...and/or the cable will just plain break, causing garbage to appear on the screen.It's worse if you swing it portrait, and/or move it around a lot.The original cable had bent pins and the like... really bad.Why did Dell give me such a -crappy- cable ? ?Dell's cable is half the thickness of the $9 one I boughtto replace it ( same day shipping, from/to Seattle, Amazon ).

The MacBook Pro need an adapter for any standard monitor. You need a converter to VGA or DVI.

The MBP only has Thunderbolt output. You will need a monitor that supports Display Port/Thunderbolt or you will need a Thunderbolt/Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter.

yes, the mini displayport is Thunderbolt compatible. You only get the video out portion, but it is how I use my large Dell monitor to my Mac.

I do not have one to test, but if you mean Apples display port to DVI-D adaptors, they should work, but you need to check on something first. Try to look up if your adapter is "single link" or "dual link" DVI...If it is single, you will run into problems with the resolution of this monitor, you need to have a DUAL LINK cable for higher resolutions. Given that Thunderbolt displays I have seen are at high resolutions, I would presume that it would be dual link DVI.

Unfortunately I don't have a MacBook Pro, so that was not a concern; but I have mine plugged into a Mac Mini with excellent quality. This monitor ships with both VGA & HDMI cables; if your box can accept these, you're good to go. Power would not be an issue since the monitor has its own AC adapter plug. I think it would be an excellent compliment and good investment for a laptop. The owners manual for this screen is downloadable if you need further assurance. Apple want $1000 for this quality; so I feel I got more than a great deal.

Yes, I use this display at full resolution with my MacBooks. I'm using this cable: "Cable Matters Gold Plated Mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt Port Compatible) to DisplayPort Cable" for my Macs, and this cable "Cables To Go 26911 DVI-D Male/Male Dual Link Digital Video Cable" for my Windows workstation.

The monitor comes with one displayport to displayport cable and one hdmi cable. NOTE - I am trying to use this with a mac pro late 2013 and the drivers are not working well. I can confirm it woks with my late 2012 MacBook Pro via mini-displayport to displayport cable (1.2 compliant)

Believe that is exactly what you need. Mine is about a year older. Try to zoom in on the smaller end if the cable and compare it to the external monitor port on the MacBook.

I am using it to connect a Seiki 39" 4K monitor to my MacBook Pro Retina, so yes. Seemed to work best on the Mac's HDMI port without the Thunderbolt adapter. The cable that came with the monitor did not give full 4K resolution. HTH.

Yes this works with a display port and thunderbolt.A display port on a Mac only works with displays and display related cables (such as this one), the thunderbolt supports both display and data transfer (such as an ethernet adapter). Thunderbolt is just a more advanced display port that can do more.If you're machine is new, then it would have a thunderbolt port (identified by a lightning bolt symbol). A display only port's symbol is a square in-between two vertical lines like this |□|

The dock only ultimately provides one thunderbolt connection. So with my early 2011 macpro I still had only ability to have one additional monitor but I don't have an HDMI connector. Not sure what the Air has. Ultimately I bought a new MacBook Pro with two thunderbolt displays and now have two external monitors and the laptop display. Love it and it gave me an opportunity to upgrade.

Oscar is correct. The Thunderbolt port is also the minidisplay port. Just buy an inexpensive minidisplay port to display port adapter from Amazon or Monoprice.

The monitor comes with ports and cables for HDMI, DisplayPort, DVI, and VGA which will all connect to a MacBook (depending on the year it was created). You will need a Mini DisplayPort adapter for some of them. I'm using HDMI on an early 2013 15-inch Retina MacBook.The monitor also has a color preset feature that allows you to use your MacBook color profile instead of one of the monitor's built-in color profiles.

Mini Display and Thunderbolt are the same from what I understand - My Macbook Air has a thunderbolt and it works fine.

No, that's why I returned it....they did away with the display port and made them thunderbolt ports instead, hope this is helpful
