U2515H and HDMI 1.4

Hi there,

Is the U2515H able to support full 2560x1440 resolution at 60Hz using the HDMI 1.4 input?

This would be for the following machine:

- Macbook Pro 2016, no touch bar (2 x USB-C ports)

- Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640

I've given up trying to find a hub that offers 2 x USB-C ports with support for video/audio output, so that I can connect 2 x U2515H's to the Macbook using 2 x USB-C to DP cables. Most hubs only offer one USB-C port, typically only with support for pass-through charging (some not even with charging support!)

Therefore, the aim is to have:

1st USB-C Macbook port - USB-C to DP cable to first U2515H

2nd USB-C Macbook port - Satechi Type-C multiport adapter - HDMI high speed 1.4 cable to second U2515H (this adapter also has another USB-C with pass-through charging capabilities and 2 x USB 3.0 ports).

I read something that mentioned to support 2560x1440 on HDMI 1.4, then a custom graphics resolution needs to be set on the graphics card. Is this the case in this situation for this graphics card?

I really appreciate any advice I can get - trying to set up 2 external monitors at QHD to a Macbook Pro with only 2 x USB-C ports is an absolute nightmare!

Unknown concerning Apple proprietary operating system and hardware which were not tested/validated by Dell.



You should post on the Apple Support Communities and see if they can offer some insight.
