I bought this monitor for use with a MacBook Pro Retina, 15'. What's the exact adapter and cable I will need to use it at its full resolution?

Thank you for contacting us. You should be able to use a HDMI, DVI, or Displayport cable that comes with this item.

This monitor has DVI-D (dual link), two HDMI, and a DisplayPort™ (1.2) port to connect to, here are the specifications for what video connections you MacBook Pro Retina (15") supports: https://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/specs-retina/. I would recommend using the Display Port 1.2 connection for best quality.

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: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004CAGDUA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The MacBook Pro need an adapter for any standard monitor. You need a converter to VGA or DVI.

I do not have one to test, but if you mean Apples display port to DVI-D adaptors, they should work, but you need to check on something first. Try to look up if your adapter is "single link" or "dual link" DVI...If it is single, you will run into problems with the resolution of this monitor, you need to have a DUAL LINK cable for higher resolutions. Given that Thunderbolt displays I have seen are at high resolutions, I would presume that it would be dual link DVI.

This display does not display full resolution with MiniDisplayport, MacBook Airs are out of luck. You must use HDMI to HDMI.

i plug it into my Macbook air, using a mini displayport to VGA adapter and a VGA chord. It works perfectly.

I cannot see what the problem with this adapter and a Mac would be?? I'm using it with a Mac Pro late 2013 and a 4K Dell display. It works flawlessly with full resolution and 60 Hz - under Mac OS 10.9 as well as Windows 8.1.

I am not sure how your MacBook conects to external monitors but a standard VGA cable works just fine when conecting to a PC. I hope this helps

If you have a apple laptop and intend to use display port (only good option), then you need an adaptor because the display port cord is full sized for chaining together with other monitors, not to connect to a laptop

You need to use the displayport cables to display at 2560x1440. If your Mac has Thunderbolt connectors you'll need a miniport (thurnderbolt) to displayport adaptor. 2560x1440 will not display with HDMI nor DVI.

The monitor comes with ports and cables for HDMI, DisplayPort, DVI, and VGA which will all connect to a MacBook (depending on the year it was created). You will need a Mini DisplayPort adapter for some of them. I'm using HDMI on an early 2013 15-inch Retina MacBook.The monitor also has a color preset feature that allows you to use your MacBook color profile instead of one of the monitor's built-in color profiles.

Love my cinema displays (have three -- one bought new, two others bought used/refurbed thru Amazon). Just be sure the display you buy has the proper video connector for your MacBook -- I can't remember the year but at some point they changed the connector from the Cinema display to the PC to the mini connector plug (rather than an HDMI or DVI).

Yup, you'll need a mac display to HDMI (or DVI as monitor supports both) adapter.

I use this as an external monitor for my 15" MacBook Pro (Early 2008) with DVI. The monitor comes with a DVI-HDMI adapter cable which will allow you to plug it right into your computer. Unless of course, you have the new Mini with HDMI, then its easy. This is a beautiful monitor with an exceptional picture.

There is a Display Port to Mini Display port cable so ---&gt; mDP to macbook, DP to monitor, walla 4k goodness, make sure your macbook is late 2013 for 4k to work, it will only work @ 30hz under mac os, but will run fine @ 60hz in windows via bootcamp,
