    If it doesn't, can you suggest other model which has this kind of connector? I want 4K60Hz at least when I use word and chrome. Thanks!

    You may want to see if anyone has got an intel IGP powering your particular 4k display.

    Hey, If you are looking into the N551JX model. Specifications do show that this unit does support a mini display port.

    Having a display port and supporting 4k 60hz are two different things however ;)

    That document is not quite correct as HDMI 1.4 can't do 60hz 4k without chroma compression which only nvidia do at the moment.

    Intel do support 4k through the DP output yes, but it's not the most reliable thing in the world, some displays work and some don't. So he more needs to look to see if someone has run an Intel IGP with it.

    I know, but DP is still the better bet than anything else.

    I can confirm that the N550JK was able to drive my Monoprice Crystal Pro 28" 4k at 60 Hz over mDP 1.2 SST

    My ASUS N551JX CN311T is running 2x Dell U2515H at both WQHD 2560x1440 @ 60hz. Monitors are connected to the mDP1.2 and Daisy Chained :)
    Super Image quality.
