MacBook Pro with 2 monitors

I have a Lenovo Laptop conected via USB-C to a LENOVO Monitor From the LENOVO monitorI have a HDMI cable to connect another monitor. From windows I can detect both monitors and I have both as extended ones.

I also have a MacBook Pro and I want to do the same but I'm not able. When I connect it to the LENOVO monitor via USB-C, the only option I have is to make both monitors as mirrow of the MacBook, impossible to make them as extended.


is it possible? How?

The Mac supports up to two displays on one cable only when that cable is a genuine Thunderbolt cable appropriately rated for high speed 40 G bits/sec and appropriately short, 0.8 meters or less, and connected to a genuine Thunderbolt device (Dock or Display) as the first device.


USB-C cables do not have enough bandwidth available to do this for larger displays. Apple has decided not to support multiple displays over USB-C.


The Apple standard for its built-in hardware-accelerated displays, makes them suitable for full-motion video for production/display of cinema-quality video with NO dropped frames, and NO dropouts or partial-blank scan lines due to memory under-runs or other issues.
