Hey Friends
I'm looking to upgrade my monitor, I've been using a Asus PA248Q for about 6 years and its been fantastic.
Im looking to get a 27 inch 4k monitor, my budget is around 550GBP, I've identified the BenQ PD2700U (linked below) However Im concerned about the connectivity and getting the most out of the display, so any advice here is greatly appreciated.
I will mostly be using it for photoshop and large prints, so colour accuracy is very important. My question is regarding the HDMI 1.4 output the mac pro is capable of and the HDMI 2.0 input of the monitor. What are the implications of connecting the monitor directly via HDMI 1.4?
Is there a way to use the thunderbolt 2.0 from the mac pro and connect it to monitor via the Display port 1.4
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
