[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1918275, member: 56379"] Yes the ports on the Mac & Windows PC versions of the 5770 are different...but both 5770 versions have the same amount of RAM (1GB)...thus both support the same display resolutions/max resolution. Then purchase a non-4k monitor to use with your 5770. A non-4k monitor will likely be slightly less expensive as well. Also realize that with a 4k monitor...if it's in the 30"-32" diagonal measure range...computing content on the display will be much smaller than it is/was on your 30" Apple display. If you happen to have eye-sight issues (many of us do as we get older)...smaller won't be helpful. To get around this you may end up selecting a different (such as 2560x1600 or 2560 x 1440). This is basically the resolution of your 30" Apple display....which would then cancel out the 4k resolution of a 4k monitor (if you were to purchase a 4k display). Mentioned some of this in post #10 above. Nick [/QUOTE]
