Potentially dumb question, but will this work with a MacBook? (Like with some sort of thunderbolt adapter )

Based on this[1] discussion, it seems like Thunderbolt 2 equipped Macs have DP1.2 and should be able to drive it at 60hz. It seems like someone with an Asus 4K screen had trouble with this in OS X (Win 8 worked).

TB1/Display Port equipped Macs will be limited to 30hz.

The most recent retina macbook pros have serious driver problems with 4k monitors. Yes, after the December update too.

Here's my Amazon review of a Seiki 4k display: http://www.amazon.com/review/R4OJ5D5RPILCH

Only the latest MacBooks with Haswell chips support 4k over Thunderbolt 2

Do you know if they will they run the screen in a scaled mode? (i.e., 1920x1080 logical pixels, while using retina scaled assets)
Re:Dell Ultra Sharp 24" 4K display by Synaesthesia on Thursday December 26, 2013 @09:17AM (#6966300)
Yes they should be able to. OS X can already do that on regular screens.

This monitor doesn't support scaling. If you push 1080p, it will not fill the screen.

That's not what HiDPI mode does; rather than rely on the (uniformly crappy) on-board scaling logic on the display, the computer sends a full resolution picture that it has scaled already. And there's no reason to think that this won't be available with this display.

I want to believe!

Late 2013 Haswell Retina Macbook pro could support 2 upto 3 4K external Display I think. If Win 8 worked 4k with 60HZ,just wait for a new OSX 10.9 update.It should bring 4K with 60HZ support. If using HDMI cable,only support 4K at 30HZ.

As an additional question: Are there any Macs with support for two such monitors?
Re:Dell Ultra Sharp 24" 4K display by wmf on Thursday December 26, 2013 @01:50PM (#6967403)
The Mac Pro.
