It seems some folks are using a (scrapped?) 27" iMac as a second display on their 27" iMac. The built-in iMac 27" screen appears to be the only 5K, 6016x3384 display. No separately-sold monitors claiming to be "5K" (oodles of 4K screens, some 8K), none boasting native resolutions of 6016x3384. Please correct me if I have jumped to an incorrect conclusion.Īpple markets the iMac display as a "5K" display, with a resolution of 6016x3384.Īs best I can tell, there are no other 27" monitors that exist in the world that have a native display of 6016x3384. And I'm concluding that.Apple has made this all but impossible. I will get my laptop in early December (trading in 27" 5K iMac) So, if I get a display that has a USB-C (not a Thunderbolt) port than what are the specs of computer displays that I could daisy chain? If I cannot daisy chain two 4K monitors than what are the other work-arounds? I know I could use 2 of the three T4/USB-4 laptop ports? Could you hook up two monitors with a dock? Thunderbolt displays don't appear to have good coverage of the Adobe RGB space at present. It turns out that currently these monitors in a somewhat affordable range have a USB-C connection at best. I am also looking for a display that supports a photography workflow (hobbyist) so I am looking for one that covers the Adobe RGB space. I am looking for one external display now and want to future proof my selection in case I want to get a 2nd display in the future.

I assume there's no additional display adapter or other potential complications needed (just power and theThunderbolt/USB C cable) - correct?īottom line: I'm looking to have both displays (the internal and an external) match, to the extent that's possible.Ĭan anyone suggest good options for a second monitor that would work well with this 27" iMac in a side-by-side configuration? Thanks.Ĭan you daisy chain two 4K monitors with USB-C ports to a 14" MacBook Pro, M1 Chip computer? I have ordered the new 14" MacBook Pro with the M1 Pro chip.
#Best imac second monitor plus
If I'm reading the specs correctly, to connect a second monitor, all I would need would be 1) to use one of the included Thunderbolt 3 DV ports (it has two), and the second display itself - the included video card (any of them, actually) should support the internal display plus a second at up to 6K with 1 bazillion colors. I can live with bezels, but other than that would like the two displays to appear as "seamless" as possible for use as an extended desktop. My goal would be a second display that matches the resolution, color and (as close as possible) the size of the built-in display. I'm considering the new (2020) 27" iMac with Retina 5K display and have some questions about hooking up a second display.
