Question

Just wondering can I connect my 13" MacBook Pro to 2 HDMI projectors? I would like to extend the displays ( 3 display, 1 laptop screen and 2 projector screen) instead of duplicating if that is possible.

I have purchased one of USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter from Apple, and if it can connect up to 2 additional extended displays, I will go for another one.

Was it helpful?

Solution

According to Apple's Technical Specifications 13” 2017 MacBook Pro is able to support 2 external displays.

Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display at millions of colors and:

  • One display with 5120x2880 resolution at 60Hz at over a billion colours
  • Up to two displays with 4096x2304 resolution at 60Hz at millions of colours
  • Up to two displays with 3840x2160 resolution at 60Hz at over a billion colours

So, three total screens is a yes, four or more is a no. What’s undetermined is if you can run closed clamshell and have three distinct and active external displays and nothing on the internal display.
