Just to let you know 10.9.3 beta graphic drivers work great on our Mac Pro (Late 2013) with Sharp 32" PN-K321 4K display (DisplayPort 1.2 MST) Currently using 2560 x 1440 scaled setting...text is sharp and clear, menus are sized correctly for our normal computer, developer, and graphic use. Wow..it feels like we have a new computer!
3200 x 1800 is the next choice on beta drivers for those wanting more screen real estate and still have readable menus. The Native resolution 3840 by 2160 good for video and photo editing but menus are way too small for my eyes. 10.9.3 beta is a big step in the right direction for 4K.

The figures quoted on the Apple Store Tech Spec match HDMI 1.4, but just say HDMI. Sony offered a firmware update from HDMI 1.4 to 2.0 on their 4K TV's, maybe Apple are doing something similar. The ports and cables are the same, so it should be possible unless there is some limiting component within the computers.
Good to know. Thanks! And the Sharp display can now be had for $3K... If it drops another $500, I'm in! .
On Amazon, the Sharp is currently $3100, the Asus $2900, and the Dell $2500... and I believe they all use the same panel.
Is there somewhere else that has the Asus for a lot less?
about 2 weeks ago the asus was $2495 .. I'm sure it will go back down .. I've been watching the price and it keeps going up and down
Im rocking the 27" refurb thunderbolt but I am already ready for it to go. I would love a nice 30" 4k for the nMP.
No daisy chaining of any monitor or just the 4K context this thread targets ? The latter shouldn't be a surprise.
Hopefully 10.9.3 perfected with *gasp* public beta testing, will be ready along with a Retina ACD for WWDC One can dream anyway.
Is the nMP even capable of driving a 27" 5120x2880 display at 60Hz, if one became available? Is dual Thunderbolt input a possibility or just more wishful thinking?

Dual Thunderbolt input is a possibility. We'll know in a few weeks.
