In my tests, the Dell UltraSharp UP3214Q offered the fewest compromises with most shortcomings being OS X related and often much more pronounced in other 4K displays, especially anything in what would be considered an affordable price point for most. I don’t have much bad to say about Apple’s display- it’s tried and tested and a solid choice- but at $999 almost three years later, I’m inclined to recommend these new 4K displays over Apple’s.īEST OVERALL – DELL 31.5” UltraSharp UP3214Q – $1,699 | Despite my tests being done mostly on a new, stock Mac Pro, these picks stand for Thunderbolt-equipped MacBook users as well.Īpple last made silent minor tweaks to the Thunderbolt display in July 2012, but otherwise it has remained the same since its introduction over 3 years ago.

I’ve been testing Mac Pro compatible displays from Dell, Sharp, Samsung, LG, and others that are officially supported by Apple, and put together a list of my thoughts and top picks for those planning on picking up a new Mac Pro this holiday season.

4K might offer 4x the resolution of your standard 1080p display, but for the short time they’ve been around, they’ve also cost about 4x as much as the alternatives. I found myself in the same predicament not too long ago and decided to put a number of displays to the test in recent months. So Apple didn’t release a 4K (or 5K) standalone Retina display alongside the new 5K iMac, but you can’t hold off any longer on a shiny new display for your Mac Pro. Check out our updated roundup of the best 4K and 5K displays for Mac for 2016.
