Maximum number of Monitors

According to the specifications of my MacBook:

https://support.apple.com/kb/SP794?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US


  • I should be able to connect up to four displays with 4096-by-2304 resolution at 60Hz at over a billion colors


Does anyone know how to hookup the 4 monitors ?

Has anyone been successful at connecting several monitors ?

Would a product like https://www.brydge.com/products/stone-pro help ?


Thanks

A lot depends on the monitors. The CalDigit TS3 has a DisplayPort and a Thunderbolt 3 port. Each of those can support a monitor, but if you do not have a monitor that takes TB3 you will need another adapter.


I have the CalDigit TS3. I like it for all the USB ports and the Ethernet port.


I have a DisplayPort going to a 32" 4K DELL monitor (Sweet display).

The other Thunderbolt 3 port goes into a TB3-to-DVI adapter, that then drives an old Samsung 1080p monitor.


I'm using a Late 2016 15" Macbook Pro with touchbar. I cannot drive 4 monitors, but I do well with just 2, with the 32" DELL being my main monitor, and the Samsung being a secondary monitor for stuff I want up all the time, but I'm not staring at it all the time either.


To drive monitors 3 and 4, you would need either 2 more adapters for ports on your Mac, or another Dock that support 2 monitors.
