Has anyone used this with a Retina MBP for 4k? Preferably Late 2013 13". Just got a Dell P2715Q 4K monitor; it does HDMI 30Hz, but am told DP better

Yes it can be used for 4k at 60hz on Retina MBPs. I have tested it on a 15" 2013 and 15", Mid 2014 model. The MBP does get extremely hot though and has frozen on me a few times so be careful if you plan on using it for long periods

I tried the DP with my 2013 MBP and did not work. I tried with two different cable makers and none works. Settle with HDMI at 60Hz.

I have an Apple MacBook Pro 13" Retina 2013 and connect to this monitor usint MiniDisplay Port. It works great with no issue. This monitor displays the best color among all monitors I have. The image is so vivid and real, best for photography. I highly recommend it.

I am currently running this monitor at its native 4K (ultraHD) resolution at 60 Hz refresh rate using a Thunderbolt 2 port on the late 2013Mac Pro with a minidisplay port to display port cable.

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.

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.

I am using it on a MAC running 10.8.4. I think I loaded latest DisplayLink drivers around the end of July looks like latest was in March. So yes works well with latest. I am running a 30" monitor on Displayport 2560 X1600.

This monitor works great with a MBP. I have both for work, the only other thing I had to purchase was a DVI to HDMI cable (you could opt for an adapter instead). I plug it in and use it as my main monitor. I was so impressed I bought the 24" version to compliment my iMac at home.

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.

The thunderbolt cable only works with the Apple thunderbolt monitor. You can get a thunderbolt adapter that will change it to DVI/VGA/HDMI fairly cheap

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.

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,

I connected my 2013 retina macbook to a 4k tv and it showed up at 4k resolution, I don't know why this wouldn't.

This monitor has a native resolution of 2560 x 1440 (which is definitely not 4K) and my macbook pro (2013 retina) automatically gave it a full resolution signal with an hdmi cable. So I'm not sure if either previous answer was correct.

yes works great with Macbook pro. need a display port to display port adapter cable

There were a few early issues with certain monitors and an earlier release of OS X Mavericks, but any 4K monitor should work just fine with the proper HDMI cable.

This monitor has DVI-D (dual link), two HDMI, and a DisplayPort (1.2) port to connect to, here are the specifications for what video connections you MacBook Pro Retina (15") supports: https://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/specs-retina/. I would recommend using the Display Port 1.2 connection for best quality.
