Re: Display for use with a late Macbook Pro Retina (late 2013) model? Date: January 15, 2015 03:00PM |
Your MBP can drive two extra monitors -- both at 2560 X 1600 (30") -- so you could technically have 3 screens...
Many people have postve comments on the monoprice ones, search here.
I think either of those Dells are fine, but the 27" is a better class of monitor. Also has USB 3 hub built in. Although on the 2 on the left bezel are really useful, the other 2 are hard to reach. Great for things that don't get unplugged often. I have my mouse and my iPhone cable in those.
Have you thought about 4K?

Funny you should mention this, but I've been randomly thinking about the same thing. I saw the 27 inch dell for 499 - 20 on our sponsors deal page. Might pick it up.
Apologies to the anonymous forum member affected by my previous sig pic. It was my personal pic of a country expressing great grief as their leader, one of the most recognized people in the world, lay on his deathbed 8 years ago, days before he died. Like a naif, I did not realize it was offensively political, I considered it an expression of deep emotion and a reminder of the mortal coil's nature; that we all, great and small, can only hope to make a difference in our short time here, no matter the personal cost.
I'll post another pic from my work in South Africa that is, hopefully, apolitical.

Yeha, thats $100 less than Roberts link. Nice.
Id take one to go with my 27" iMac and ditch my Dell 2409 and its measly 1920 X 1200 resolution.

I saw the lower end 4k from Dell, and the low refresh rate and TN panel gave me a bit of concern. I have no expertise in the matter, though.
ETA: Looks like those have been corrected in the 24 in model.

Hi everyone,
Just ordered the Dell U2713HM from Dell. Got the $20.00 off via the coupon. Also getting 1% cash back from American Express. And, after a bit of searching, turns out American Express is also offering a one-time special $25.00 cash back bonus for orders from newegg.com. The minimum to get the bonus was either $100.00 or $200.00. I had to go to the American Express web site to activate the special prior to jumping to newegg.com to place the actual order.
So, it was $479.99 with free shipping and no tax. I get $4.80 cash back from American Express based on the normal 1% cash back bonus. I'm getting an additional $25.00 back because of the special offer from American Express. End result, I'm getting a nice big honking display for $450.00. I'm going to use the money I saved towards the cables I need to connect it to the MPB.

Cable is $4.88 -- so you have to kick in an extra .08¢ + shipping -- Im thinking you can swing it...
