Hello,
I am currently trying to understand why my PS4 is able to get my TV to switch to 1920x1080/60p while my late 2013 Mac Pro, connected to my TV via the MP's HDMI port (HDMI/DVI port is used on the TV's end) can not.
I have done some research on the subject and have found that MP's only display in 4096*2160/24p which would explain such a behavior (source: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202856)
What I don't understand is why my MP is limited in such a way that, to my humble understanding, my PS4 (also plugged via HDMI/STB or in HDMI/DVI) is not ?
Also, after learning about this limitation, I am left wondering whether or not a MiniDisplay to HDMI adaptor to make use of my MP's Thunderbolt ports would do the trick. It seems to me that this would bypass the problem of my MP's HDMI port's limitation (should the problem be specific to that port only, which seems to be the case here given what my PS4 can do).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks !
By the way, my TV is a Samsung UN55H8550F and I'm running Mac OS Yosemite 10.10.3 (latest).
