I just set up our first new Mac Pro (late 2013) with a Dell UP3216Q. I initially tried connecting with a Thunderbolt cable but the display didn't connect (black screen/power saver). HDMI worked, but not at full resolution. I then tried Dell's DP to mDP cable and that finally worked with 60Hz 4K.
I called Dell and they showed me how to enable DisplayPort 2.1 but the display still won't connect over the Thunderbolt/mDP cable. The tech I had at Dell was pretty clueless about connecting to the Mac. I opened a ticket and when I have another couple of hours to spare, I'll try to talk to a higher-tier tech.
Meanwhile, I was wondering if anybody has had any success connecting one of these displays to a Mac with a standard Thunderbolt cable? I bought two more of these to go with the Pros we just bought (this is a video production group at a large community college) and was hoping I wouldn't have any issues with Thunderbolt connections rather than the rather odd Dell cables.
Thanks,
Ric
