I am wondering if it's possible to connect two monitors with HDMI ports to my MacBook Pro w/retina display (early 2015 model) and, if so, what's the best way?
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)
Hi BillyP3,
Absolutely! You should have 2 Thunderbolt ports and a HDMI port. Technically, you can connect 3 external monitors if you'd wish.
Buy 2 monitors that are Thunderbolt compatible or you can mix and match. For instance, buy a HDMI compatible monitor and also one that is Thunderbolt compatible.
If you would be interested, and you have the money to dish out, I would highly recommend the Apple 27" Thunderbolt display. Very beautiful monitor that not only offers a great display, but also provide additional I/O for you other peripherals (USB, Firewire, Thunderbolt). However, the price tag is at a hefty $999 because of it's high resolution and sharpness. Although this may seem like a very expensive monitor, it's actually reasonably priced when compared to Dell's and HP's Professional grade monitors that have the same specs.
Therefore, all you need is a monitor that is Thunderbolt or HDMI compatible.
Hope this helps!
Thanks,
Mark
