![]() Since the tech specs on the Apple site only support 4K at 30Hz or 24Hz, if you are going to use a workaround like SwitchRes to push it to 50 I have to guess that since that is unsupported you should not be surprised if the mini starts to struggle. The Mini has laptop-class integrated graphics, and while they have gotten better, I have a feeling a 4K display would do better with Iris Pro integrated or a real discrete video card. ![]() I have no experience with 4K but chances are a 4K monitor would slow a Mini. If you can get 10 bpc you have over a billion colors to spread amongst the wider gamut, for smoother transitions/less banding. Millions of colors is shorthand for 16.7 million colors of 8 bpc color (8 bits each for red, green, blue channel), industry standard for PC and Mac but the same amount some say is less than optimal for wide gamut. You can spread your millions of colors across sRGB, or you can spread them across Adobe RGB or ProPhoto RGB. The "millions of colors" does not equal gamut. I have no experience with 4K but chances are a 4K monitor would slow a Mini. I do run wide gamut on a 2011 Mac laptop and I'm OK with it, but it's at 2560x1440, not 4K. It will be wide gamut at 8 bpc which some think is not good enough. Will a 4k monitor slow the Mini?Īny Mac will support wide gamut, but OS X itself won't do 10 bits per channel to the display even if the applications and video card can (Windows does not have this problem). Will the Mac Mini support wide gamut at 4k 50hz resolution? I read on the apple website that Mini supports millions colors (I guess that is only SRGB?). ![]() 165 ppi you get at 4k are enough to give you a retina-like experience, what do you think? 4k on 24" instead means c.185 ppi which at a normal working distance should be comparable to MBP 220 ppi.Ģ) Mac Mini does not support 60Hz at 4k but I read on Mac Rumors that using SwitchResX you can get 50hz, has anyone tested this? I guess the difference between 50 and 60 is acceptable.ģ) I have my eyes on the Nec EA244UHD. Wanted to discuss the second option here.ġ) Ideally I would like to upgrade to a 27" display but i am not sure the c. That has two solutions: either I go back to Windows or I buy a Retina-like display (so 4k). My Dell U2412M that was tack sharp on WIN now all of a sudden seems totally blurry on Mac (just fonts, pictures are fine, see here ). I recently switched from WIN to OS X (Mac Mini 2014).
