Do you need a special video card for this monitor? Would a 2012 Macbook Pro with Intel HD Graphics 4000 do the trick?

I use a 2011 Air with hd 3000 and it works with zero problems. Make sure that you use a display port cable w/ dp to mini dp adapter or it might not display full resolution.

Sabrina, I connected it to my Macbook Pro through a "Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter". You can buy it from amazon for less than $10. Good luck!

I run the monitor with a gtx 780, this monitor supports, mini display port, display port, and hdmi, I use the supplied mdp to display port cable, runs fine @ 60H, text is crisp like retina MacBook, with less glare. most modern video cards will run this for browsing and basic tasks but gaming is another story at 4k, I recommend a video card that supports display port 1.2 compliant to receive full 60hz. to my pleasant surprise my gtx 780 plays most games at 4k no problem so far. games tried with 4k that work so far are, mk9,southpark,wolfenstien etc. im sure newer games will be more demanding but no complaints sofar I run the monitor with a gtx 780, this monitor supports, mini display port, display port, and hdmi, I use the supplied mdp to display port cable, runs fine @ 60H, text is crisp like retina MacBook, with less glare. most modern video cards will run this for browsing and basic tasks but gaming is another story at 4k, I recommend a video card that supports display port 1.2 compliant to receive full 60hz. to my pleasant surprise my gtx 780 plays most games at 4k no problem so far. games tried with 4k that work so far are, mk9,southpark,wolfenstien etc. im sure newer games will be more demanding... » Read More I run the monitor with a gtx 780, this monitor supports, mini display port, display port, and hdmi, I use the supplied mdp to display port cable, runs fine @ 60H, text is crisp like retina MacBook, with less glare. most modern video cards will run this for browsing and basic tasks but gaming is another story at 4k, I recommend a video card that supports display port 1.2 compliant to receive full 60hz. to my pleasant surprise my gtx 780 plays most games at 4k no problem so far. games tried with 4k that work so far are, mk9,southpark,wolfenstien etc. im sure newer games will be more demanding but no complaints sofar « Show Less

This is an older monitor. I believe it uses an industry-standard DVI connector. There is a $29 mini displayport to DVI adapter available from Apple -- but you should confirm compatibility with Apple for your specific laptop. Apple also offers a 27" Thunderbolt-connected monitor.

You probably need a HDMI to mini-display port, I bought this one for my MacBook when I purchased this monitor as it doesn't come w/ one: Cable Matters Gold Plated Mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt Port Compatible) to DisplayPort Cable in White 6 Feet - 4K Resolution Ready

I just returned my HP Envy 27-inch monitor to Amazon. I too have a 2012 MacBook Pro (13") and attempted to hook it up to the monitor via HDMI (adapted from thunderbolt? - not the mini video port of old). The picture was horrible, fonts were unreadable. A 90-minute call to HP support revealed that they have no driver support for Mac and all the fiddling with the settings on the Mac did not solve the problem. Oddly, I have my MacBook Pro hooked up to an older HP 23" monitor via HDMI and it works like a charm. Not sure what the difference is between the two monitors, but there it is.

I don't think so diane. Since I Mac is a all in one computer. You need a computer with DVI or VGA ports. Call Apple for more info. Good luck!!

The monitor uses DVI input, so you need a DVI cable that can connect to your Mac. I'm not familiar with connecting DVI to Mac, but see cables for that purpose on the web. My Crossover is attached to a Windows computer.

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)

Sure you can use this monitor with your macbook laptop. This is exactly what i have been doing for the past year with no problems whatsoever. I am also using an external keyboard and mouse.

No, MAC Operating system and hardware only allow certain video cards, this is not one of them

I have a Macbook Pro (late 2012 model I believe-last 17" that they made)--that does not have any variation of HDMI port on it. If you're in doubt I'd check the Apple website for the model you have-their tech specs are pretty clear :-)

it uses a dvi and vga cables, so as long as your macbook/desktop have the proper jacks, I don't see any reason as to why you couldn't.

The people said "no" only knows half of the story. I am using this monitor for my early 2013 15" rmbp right now, and it works even for 2009 macbook pro (tested) at 1440p. Just need an adapter to achieve that which is ~$80 on amazon.

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!

I have not tried to use mine with a MacBook. However HDMI output is standardized. That means this device should, in theory, convert any HDMI output to VGA regardless of the source device.
