This is for all the MacBook pro owners. If you desire an extra screen then a 4K monitor will be a great deal. Now the obvious question will be why would you consider a lower resolution monitor with a comparatively cheaper display? The answer is clarity. All the MacBook pro owners are using their device with OS X. All the MacBook Pro owners with retina display may take undue advantage of a setting which will double the interface element pixels in the X and Y axis.

This setting will allow items on screen to appear larger and will compensate the smaller pixels. The users will have a similar experience on the external display too. All the 4k monitors will support t native resolution of 3840*2160.When the OS X is run in the default HiDPI mode the effective resolution is cut in half giving the resolution of 1920*1080. The MacBook 15” laptop gives a native resolution of 2880*1800, when the display is set in default the available display cuts down to 1440*900. The 4K monitors are new in the industry and the technology is trying to mature. There may be some random issues and few display problems which makes the monitor appear as there are 2 separate displays instead of one.

Not every MacBook has the capacity to drive the 4K display using the SST device. Some of the monitors which may be used for the powerful 4k display are as follows: · Dell P2415Q

· Dell P2715Q

· BenQ BL2711U

· Samsung U32D970Q

All of the above monitors are available from $400 to $1200 price range. There may be many other mentors available too however these are some of the most familiar and well known displays which can be easily found in the market. Unfortunately Apple will not be able to support the 5K display.
