It can be done if your MBP has the extra graphics chip AND you use Displayport as one of the monitor inputs. Click on 'About this Mac' 'System Report' 'Graphics/Displays' and look to see if it has 2 graphics chips one of them being 'AMD Radeon R9 M370X' My experimentation has taught me this: • 2012 MBPR with extra graphics chip can drive 2x TB-DVI + 1x HDMI • 2015 MBPR with single integrated graphics can only drive 2x of any combination as poster indicates (it cannot drive the combination in #3 below) • 2015 MBPR with extra graphics chip can NOT drive 2x TB-DVI + 1X HDMI but it CAN drive 1x TB-DVI + 1x TB-DisplayPort + 1x HDMI as one of the answers here indicates. I don't know what changed between 2012+extra graphics and 2015+extra graphics to require that one of the displays be using displayport input (vs DVI/HDMI/VGA). Wish there was a way as I now need to get another monitor. I was able to do this with my 2012 15″ rMBP. I just upgraded to the 2015 15″ rMBP and I didn't expect a lesser experience; however, I have not been able to connect the 3rd external monitor successfully yet. I am using 3 1920x1080 monitors connected Thunderbolt → DVI x2 and HDMI → DVI x1.

I just achieved a 4 monitor setup (rMBP display included). Here is my setup: • MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015) • AMD Radeon R9 M370X 2048 MB • OS X 10.10.3 • TB1 port - TB to DVI adapter • TB2 port - Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable • HDMI port - HDMI to DVI adapter The average CPU temp has been between 50-70 degrees while doing normal processing with over 10 applications open. When I start compiling code, I have seen it hit 100 degrees, but once the fans RPM increase, it returns to the 50-70 range. You can run 3 to 4 external monitors (4 or 5 including the main screen). This is done through USB. By default you can only have 2 external monitors including your native display. But there is a way to add more.

Here is how you do it: • Get a USB to HDMI adapter (this serves as an external graphics card that pulls from your CPU). • Plug adapter into your USB port • Plug your HDMI into the adapter and connect to monitor. It's that simple.

You can also get adapters for display port, VGA, DVI. This video demonstrates the steps above.

My work setup used to be the 2013 MBP + two nice external displays. Is this at all possible w/ the new 2016 MBP 13'? There's only two USB ports on the new MBP, which I did not realize.

(It's company-issued, so I've not got much say in the matter.) One of these goes to AC too, either directly or through some adapter magic. Basically, I've got to adapt 2 USB-C ports to 1 USB-C + 2 display ports, and whatever extra USB-A ports I can get. The best I've got so far is 1x + 2x that's $170 of adapters, Apple. Now, the Satechi hub claims '4K HDMI (30 Hz) video output. Note: Use HDMI 2.0 Cables for optimum performance.'

I've connected 4K monitors over HDMI on my old 2013 MBP, and that setup was never capable of driving the monitor at its native resolution, and is what switched me to using mini-DP to DP adapter and cables. I'm thus skeptical of this claim, from empirical experience, though seems to disagree, and state that HDMI should be able to do 4K @ 60Hz. I'm driving 2x U2417H monitors now. Not 4k, but to your question - Apple has limited each USB C port to 1 display output at this time. I use 2x Apple Digital AV adapters configured like this: 1) Charger+USB 3.0 monitor hub+HDMI 2) HDMI + 2nd USB 3.0 monitor hub All my USB peripherals go through my monitor hubs. I don't know how well it will drive dual 4K monitors, but from my understanding it's possible as long as you dedicate 1 USB C port per monitor.

3 Mac mini with AMD graphics can support an HDMI compatible device on its HDMI port when using two Thunderbolt displays. 4 MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012), MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2012), and Mac Mini (Late 2012 and later) computers can use an HDMI-compatible device on it's HDMI port while using one Thunderbolt display, or they can use two Thunderbolt displays. If you want to use your MBP monitor to stream your PC's screen specifically for gaming then you can take advantage from Steam's streaming feature.by using this feature you can stream your non-steam games too. Well I have 3 screens running at the moment. 2 external and the mbp screen. But I was wondering if it's possible to not use the mbp it's screen and to use a 3rd external monitor in it's place. Make sure that you have the correct cables as-well(they should have come with your monitor and have screws on them to connect with the adapter.
