Hello, i am trying to connect 3 monitors to my macbook pro 2017 ( 16gb ram, 3,3mhz turbo, i7) but is just working two of them (the third one appears black). The monitors are not 4k and i think that the computer specs can handle 3 of them!

MacBook Pro TouchBar and Touch ID, macOS High Sierra (10.13)

Hello Gustavo,

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

I understand that you are wanting to use multiple displays on your MacBook Pro. Two displays will work, but a third will not. This will depend on exactly which model of MacBook Pro you have, the (13-inch, 2017) model will only support up to two external displays, while the (15-inch, 2017) model can support up to 4 displays, depending on the displays you are using. Take a look at the specifications on the different models and determine if your computer will actually support the displays you want to use. If so, get back with us with the exact model and/or specifications of your computer and displays and we will go from there.

Best regards.
