Since Costco has the Toshiba 65" 3D 4K display for sale for $3000 right now, I brought my MacBook Pro 17" with the Accell mini-displayport -> HDMI 1.4 active adapter in (which drives my Seiki 4K just fine) to try it out.

I was trying get the Toshiba to run at 4K, but it would only come up as 1080p. Higher resolutions were not available.
When I tried setting it to 30Hz (what I use to drive the Seiki 4K), the Toshiba wouldn't sync at all.

Has anybody tried the Toshiba 4K 3D display?
Driven it at 4K from a Mac?
How?
What computer(s) and adapter(s)?


For those that are interested in pretty movies/pictures of the Sun, I have basically unlimited 4Kx4K content (I work on the SDO/AIA science team).

It would be pretty easy for me to make 3840x2160 native resolution cutout movies of SDO data...
Anybody want some?

4K at 240 Hz :eek:

Now thats a beauty :D

It is quite nice looking.
The color saturation and contrast look great.
I really would love to be able to play with one for a couple of weeks to put it through its paces.
