The exact number of monitors your MacBook Pro can support depends on the model and year in which it was made. If you have your serial number you can go to the Apple website to enter it and find out the exact specifications of your computer. If you go through the About. This Mac tab, click on the Support tab when the window pops up and it will take you to all of the specifications of your computer including how many monitors it can support.
External monitors can be useful in a variety of situations and are a nice feature of your MacBook Pro. One common reason to use an extra monitor is to utilize the size of the screen on a larger display. This comes in handy if you are watching movies or playing games on your computer. A larger display can make the experience more enjoyable, allowing you to see the images on a grander scale that many people really like. Another reason to use multiple monitors is if you are using any sort of software program where you can utilize multiple screens to your advantage.
I personally do a lot of audio production work with Logic Pro X and having the ability to use multiple screens at once can really improve my workflow and productivity.
It is really nice to have one screen set up as my main mixer for audio and another with external plugins or other tools that aid in my recording. Similarly, if you edit video or photos often, or are a professional at this, multiple displays can help you get your work done. A good thing to know when getting started with this is that you can either use an extra display to mirror the image on your main screen or you can set things up as extended desktop mode to have different workspaces on different displays.
In addition, if mixing and matching, then the inch MacBook Pro can be connected to a single 5K display along with three 4K monitors. The display support levels mentioned above specifically apply to the inch MacBook Pro.
If using the smaller inch model , then the support for external monitors decreases. For example, the smaller MacBook can only be connected to up to two 4K displays at a time. Likewise, unlike the inch version, the smaller MacBook can only be connected to a single 5K or 6K monitor at a time. Therefore, the exact number a inch MacBook Pro can be connected to will depend on the resolution, with two the maximum. With both MacBook Pro models, the lower the resolution of the displays, the higher the likelihood of being able to connect the maximum number of monitors.
See the Apple Support article Mac computers with Apple silicon. If you connect multiple Thunderbolt devices to each other, the Thunderbolt 3 display must be the last device in the chain. If your Thunderbolt 3 display has USB ports, those can be used for data and power. If the displays themselves have Thunderbolt ports, you can connect one display to another, and then connect one of the displays to a Thunderbolt port on your Mac.
If your Mac has two Thunderbolt ports, you can connect each display to separate Thunderbolt ports on your Mac. A DisplayPort device must be the last device in a chain of connected Thunderbolt devices. See Connect a display, TV, or projector to Mac. See the Apple Support article Connect a display to your Mac. The other devices in the chain must be powered by separate power adapters.
