Hi there, I am using a MacBook Pro 15 inch 2017 and need an external monitor for high-end design work. Wondering what specs I need to look for and any hardware necessary to run it?

2nd Display Support: Dual/Mirroring* 2nd Max. Resolution :4096x2304 (x4*)

Details:*.

In addition to simultaneous support of the internal display, this model supports a maximum resolution up to 4096x2304 at 60 Hz at millions of colors on four external displays or 

two external displays at a maximum resolution up to 5120x2880 at 60 Hz at over a billion colors via Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C).


if you do not choose Thunderbolt displays or a USB display (most users do not) you will need an adapter, USB-C to DisplayPort.


If you choose a high-end display with ONLY one HDMI input, "you are entering the Twilight Zone"
