support for more than 4 displays
Is this possible or in the works? It would be great if the mac driver could support 6 displays like the windows one.

bump. anyone know if we will ever be able to use 6 on a mac?

Hi Devros,
Technically 6 or more screens are feasible and I'm sure that would make a great marketing message. However, more screens are also going to put more strain on the system so for the moment we believe the best balance is at 4. I'd suggest to go for bigger screens: 4x4K would be pretty impressive! Best regards, Carlo |
I use these adapters for display walls at my company that display mostly static content that is only refreshed once every 5 mins or so, so the most displays I could get attached to one mac mini, the better. If there was some way you could support more adapters in some sort of "low performance mode" that would be great, and I would have to buy a lot fewer mini's

devros - I have 7 external monitors connected to my MacBook Pro running the latest beta drivers (the built-in Retina display, 2 via DisplayPort, 1 via built-in HDMI, and 4 via two DisplayLink docking stations.) Like Carlo said, it puts incredible strain on the USB bus, and in some instances, image quality suffers.
My MacBook Pro is running an nVidia chipset, which I think maxes out at 8 monitors (haven't been able to get my two AOC DisplayLink monitors working with this setup..'cause I want 10 monitors...lol.) The Mac Mini uses Intel integrated graphics...and not sure what it's max is. |
