Am I reading right that it only supports one display output? I may be reading that incorrectly....

Am I reading right that it only supports one display output? I may be reading that incorrectly....
- jklein11 6y agoI was under the impression that Native display port would be able to drive 2 external monitors. I do not consider my self to be an authoritative source on this.
- masklinn 6y agoDisplayPort 1.4 can chain up to 6 displays at 1080p. It can only chain two 4K@60Hz. However that requires MST support which afaik is missing from OSX entirely.
- bochoh 6y agoIt will only drive one 4k display at 60hz, I would imagine it would support multiple lower resolutions with no issues.
- samjmck 6y agoThat would be weird. Thunderbolt 3 supports 2x 4K60, so this should as well.
- masklinn 6y agoOSX doesn’t support MST.
- johncolanduoni 6y agoPerhaps not (I've never tried daisy chaining) but a MacBook Pro can drive two 4K@60Hz monitors over a single Thunderbolt 3 dock cable (I'm doing it right now).
- samjmck 6y agoYou don't need MST to be able to connect to 2 monitors
- dawnerd 6y agoI keep seeing comments about lack of MST support but they're ignoring that you can currently already like you say drive dual 4k60. I'm doing it right now.
- ava1ar 6y agoYou probably has monitors with native thunderbolt input? They are not that many such monitor exists. Without MST you are out of luck to do thing with Display Port (via DP, mDP or USB-C), and this is what majority of monitors on market has.
- dawnerd 6y agoNo, they're both DP. Thunderbolt 3 can do dual 4k60 over a single cable (including also providing power, ethernet, audio, etc) https://www.caldigit.com/ts3-plus/ https://www.caldigit.com/ts3-plus/
- fastball 6y agoPresumably if you're not using the laptops screen it can drive two.
