Should I connect this monitor to the new mac pro with HDMI or Displayport? Which is better?

Display port is supposed to be the best transfer of signal. I would advise using it if you can.

Note that you need the DualLink Mini DisplayPort adapter to get the full 2560x1440 resolution. If you try using just the basic Mini DisplayPort adapter, your available resolutions will max out at 1080p.

Displayport. HDMI only supports 1080p and doesn't support the maximum resolution.

We connect a MacBook Pro's Thunderbolt port (same as on the MacBook Air) to an old tv via RCA cables using ViewHD's Mini DisplayPort to TV video Converter. We had to change the display settings in System Prefs on the Mac but it works great and we're happy with the results.

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 :-)

No - I have a new Mac Pro, and it provides the sound - not the Dell 4k monitor

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.

Do not use an HDMI cable. :) Doing so will only get you 1080, which is not the full resolution (1440) that this monitor is capable of. If you're happy using HDMI at 1080 then you might as well buy a 1080 monitor for half this price. You'll definitely want to use DVI or DisplayPort to take advantage of the full resolution. If you have trouble reading the screen then you can adjust that in Windows / Mac OS X.

Since the 5770 has only one display port, and only one hdmi (as well as two single-link DVI ports) I'd suggest hooking one up with the (included, in my case) HDMI cable and one to the display port. The display port on the monitor is full size, so if you're connecting it to a comp with a mini display port, you'd need either a cable from full size to mini, or a regular display port cable with a full-size-to-mini adapter at the end. If you happen to have purchased a recent Mac laptop or Mac Mini, check for an adapter. Depending on the model and when you bought it, a DVI-to-mini display port adapter, or a display port to mini display port, or even an HDMI to mini display port adapter may have been included.

Can I plug a thunderbolt display into it with Mac Pro early 2008 (MacPro3.1)?

This is the professional version of the Mac. It connects to a separate monitor bought independently. It is used for demanding applications like video editing or running many simultaneous programs, perhaps in both Mac and a Windows, which is what I use it for.

Well, the best way to do it would be the digital way. Doing that is about the same price and you can get a much higher quality of image if you do it that way. What is the model of your Mac? If you have an HDMI port, get this ONLY - http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-HDMI-Adapter-Cable-Meters/dp/B001TH7T2U/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1367724049&sr=1-1&keywords=hdmi+to+dvi If you don't have an HDMI port and only a Mini DisplayPort connector, get this.- http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Premium-DisplayPort-Thunderbolt/dp/B004CAHTCQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1367724186&sr=1-1&keywords=mini+displayport+to+dvi+cable If you have a DVI connector, get this.- http://www.amazon.com/Cables-26911-DVI-D-Digital-Video/dp/B0000X0VCY/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1367724254&sr=1-2&keywords=dvi+cable I hope this helped. Let me know if you have any more questions. :)

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.

The Fosmon mini displayPort (MiniDP/mDp) to HDMI works well. The problem I had at first with my MacBook Pro wasthat I did not have my display option set to "Mirror" the computer's screen. Now I watch movies etc. on my HDTV.

Am using w a new Mac Pro, but requires an ACTIVE connector ($100). Assuming similar set up would work for laptop.

Yeah you should be able to. We think this cable is amazing because we don't need any other attachment. We leave it plugged to the TV HDMI slot, then just plug the thunderbolt end to our mac pro when needed. After the initial set-up on your mac settings for display and audio, it automatically mirrors when connected. Love it!

I use this monitor with my MacBook Pro. I had to buy a Thunderbolt/mini-display to HDMI adapter (or Thunderbolt to DVI, or Thunderbolt to VGA) but the expense was minimal and well worth it.

Did you get your 2011 MacBookPro to work with this monitor? Have the same question ....

The Mac mini has what is called a mini display port and a HDMI port. This means you have lots of options for connecting a monitor as it does not come with one. Most monitors use VGA or DVI and with an adapter that will work just fine. In my case, I actually use my television as my screen so I use an HDMI cable. It's great for me because it is the only cable of the three which transmits video and audio.
