However, if you have an older MacBook Pro model, you might not be able to support as many monitors. How Many Monitors Can Your MacBook Pro Support?Ī MacBook Pro can support up to four monitors through HDMI and Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C) cables. And I put together this guide to help you find out how many you can connect to yours. The most external monitor I’ve connected to my MacBook Pro is five. I’m Jon, your resident MacBook Pro expert, and owner of a 2019 MacBook Pro. And if you use external hardware and/or AirPlay, you might be able to add more than four monitors. But, depending on your specific model, it might be less. The newest MacBook Pros can handle four monitors at 4k resolution or two monitors at 5k resolution.

It looks like you can push things far more using DisplayLink software instead of the supported direct connection with reasonably priced adapters if you really need more pixels and are willing to sacrifice performance and handle third party display software limitations and potential bugs.This site contains affiliate links. This team has tested 5 displays from an Air and 6 from the Mini. Five displays works with third party software + hardware. DisplayLink works like an external / virtual GPU to pass video data over USB so it’s slower and you have to manage the drivers often updating each time Apple ships an update or security fix. Now, just because Apple doesn’t support it, you can add all sort of Thunderbolt docks and USB to HDMI adapters. As do the latest displays with newer connections.
Initial reports from the Thunderbolt 2 to 3 adapter are very encouraging that those displays work well. The Mac mini has the same limitation - two displays only, no chaining of displays.
One is the MacBook Pro / Air screen and the second can be as large as the 6K Pro Display XDR. No, you get only one external display - for two supported displays total and they do not chain (in the case of the mini and two external displays).
