I cannot get it to work with the 2013 MacBook Air, but it seems to work fine under windows. Nothing worked, so I downloaded SwitchResX and tried to make some custom profiles. I have tried this in HDMI-1 input and HDMI-3 input (the side). I have tried both the HDMI cable that came with the tv as well as a top of the line HDMI 1.4 cable.
I have tried flashing 3 different firmware to the tv (39" version, 50" version, and a special version I found online that was hacked for 1080p 120Hz). I have a 2013 MacBook Air, the 39" Seiki 4k tv, and the Accell MDP-to-HDMI active adapter. So, I'd say chances are very good that a mid-2013 MacBook Air wouldn't have much problems with either. It would be nice if someone actually tries it extensively, and reports with some more certain results.Īccording to from 2014-04, it looks like even 2011 MacBook Air may be able to support 4K resolution, albeit only at 25Hz and with some reliability issues, and 2011 had HD Graphics 3000, as per, whereas mid-2013 and early-2014 have HD Graphics 5000 from a Haswell CPU.Īdditionally, there is a report of a 2012 MacBook Air, which has merely HD Graphics 4000, supporting a 4K Seiki.
So, maybe it will, maybe it won't, since mid-2013 and early-2014 MacBook Air only has mini-DisplayPort, so, you're adding the uncertainty of a rubbish adapter into the already fragile mix. The good news is that Haswell's 4K over HDMI works well, in a limited sort of way. The whole section that they're talking about: Haswell does have 4K display support and we will have a dedicated section to see how well it works. So, I'm hopeful that the laptop should be able to drive that many pixels, but I'm not sure whether the Thunderbolt ports, in mini-DP mode, speak the DP1.2 standard necessary to drive this monitor at 60Hz. The EveryMac page for this model says it may be able to drive two daisy-chained 2560x1600 Thunderbolt monitors, and this ars report claims that two TB monitors was possible on the 2012 models.
So the question is: Can the video card and Thunderbolt ports on a 2013 Macbook Air 13" support resolutions up to 3840 x 2160 at 60Hz via DisplayPort connectivity? In order to display the 3840 x 2160 native resolution, please ensure the graphic card and its drivers used on the PC/Laptop is capable of supporting resolutions up to 3840 x 2160 at 60Hz via DisplayPort connectivity. The product page for the 24" one mentions: Dell has announced that they're going to release a 4k monitor under $1000 in the beginning of 2014, and also has a 24" 4k monitor around $1300.
