Possible to connect 3 external monitors to Macbook Pro 15" (2017) via the USB-C ports? [duplicate]
How do I find out the number, type, resolution & refresh rate of additional monitors I can attach to my MacBook or MacBook Pro?
This is an attempt at a canonical QA, as per the Meta QA -
Where is the list of canonical questions stored for Ask Different? to try prevent the myriad "same but different" questions we get on every possible combination of computers, cable & monitors
There are perfectly good resources out there that Ask Different should not have to duplicate the efforts of.
This may not be the only available resource on this topic, but it is a comprehensive & reliable one...
EveryMac, as the name suggests, has information on every Mac model ever made [also iPhones, iPads, iPods], including but not limited to the number of external displays supported & their maximum specification.
If you are not absolutely certain which model you have from Menu > About this Mac, then they have a search engine which can identify from many data types, serial number, part number etc, the
Ultimate Mac Lookup
Lookup Macs, iPods, iPhones and iPads by Apple Order Number, Model Number, EMC Number, Model Identifier, Serial Number and Intel processor number.
This is an example of the data they provide for the current 2018 Core i9 15"
I have no affiliation to EveryMac, their partners, advertisers or sponsors.
@Tetsujin answer includes very good third party options. But I often find direct information is better instead of going to a third party.
So get information directly from Apple...
Navigate to Apple's specs website
Get the Model Identifier from Apple Logo > About This Mac > System Report > Hardware > Model Identifier
Copy and paste that identifier into the search bar on the page form Step #1
Click your product (should be the first one)
