Up to now my setup was 2020 MBPro Intel 4 Thunderbolt ports, to which I had related 3 Blackmagic eGPUs, to which 3 LG Ultrafine 5Ks had been related.
Immediately arrived my new MacBook Professional M2 Max. I hoped to attach these 3 LG Ultrafine 5Ks out of the field. However right here is the issue, I can join solely 2. The third one stays black when connecting.
Referring to this Apple Help article, the third show could be related by following these rules:
Helps three exterior shows in any considered one of these configurations:
- One show as much as 6K at 60 Hz over Thunderbolt, and two shows as much as 6K at 60 Hz over HDMI
- Two shows as much as 6K at 60 Hz over Thunderbolt, and one show as much as 8K at 60 Hz (or 4K at 240 Hz) over HDMI
(Emphasis mine)
Nonetheless, on the similar time the specs say the next:
Helps 4 exterior shows on this configuration:
- Three shows as much as 6K at 60 Hz over Thunderbolt, and one show as much as 4K at 144 Hz over HDMI.
(Emphasis mine)
From the primary quote I perceive: OK, I can’t join 3 Thunderbolts simultanously to 5K Shows.
From the second quote I perceive: I can safely join 3 Thunderbolts simultanously to 5K Shows and even higher, the 4th show could be related by way of HDMI.
It has left me considering, which one is true and ample for my scenario?
And possibly, have I acquired a defective laptop computer?
What are your experiences? Anybody utilizing triple Ultrafine 5K at their setup? Or triple Apple Studio Show?
