Thinkpads Forum

I just recently received my first 4K LCD (ThinkVision Pro2840m) from Lenovo Australia, and i have to say this is one of the coolest monitor that i have ever played with in the recent years. But i will defer the actual detailed review of the ThinKVision Pro2840m to another day, this post is merely a short summary list of all the ThinkPad laptops (with Displayport/HDMI) that i have tested with the new ThinkVision 2840m. I have omitted some models from the compatibility list, as i do not own these models and i could not test their compatibility with the new 4K LCD. Following is the list of machines that i have tested, which shows support for the 4K resolution of the new ThinkVision Pro2840m (@30hz):

ThinkPad X1 with Intel HD (only Displayport)
ThinkPad X1 Carbon with Intel HD 4000 GPU
ThinkPad X1 Carbon (2014) with Intel HD4400 GPU (HDMI + DP)
ThinkPad Yoga Intel HD 4400 GPU (miniHDMI + Displayport)
IdeaPad Yoga 2 Pro Intel HD 4400 GPU (microHDMI)
IdeaPad Yoga 3 Pro Intel HD 5300 GPU (microHDMI)
Also, to note that there are a couple of ThinkPads that are capable of supporting 4K at 60 hz refresh rate. These machine models are:

ThinkPad W530 and W540 using Displayport
ThinkPad or IdeaPad with Intel HD5000 GPU
There also some older models of ThinkPad that i have tested, which does not support the ThinkVision Pro2840m LCD’s 4K resolution, and won’t work with the monitor when it is in DP 1.2 mode (so you have to switch the LCD to DP 1.1 mode).

ThinkPad X200, X200s, X200s
ThinkPad X301
ThinkPad T500 with Intel 4500MHD GPU
ThinkPad R500 with Intel 4500MHD GPU
These ThinkPads would only work with the ThinkVision Pro2840m when the Displayport is switched to the DP 1.1 mode, and they would only support the LCD at 2560×1600 resolution.
