I was forced to switch from Mac to Windows for my work about 10 years ago so I’m a bit out of the loop now I’m finally able to switch back, apologies. (Assume a MacBook Pro M3 Pro 14 for the purposes of this thread)
I have dual 27 inch 4k 60hz displays that connect via HDMI. One to an Anker usb c hub, and the other to an Anker hdmi to usb c adapter. So both connect to two different USB C ports via a hub for one, and via an adapter for the second one.
This gives me a perfect 4k 60hz dual extended displays on windows, Chromebook, and Linux.
APPARENTLY Mac is not that simple?
I’ve been told that the 27 inch 4k will be fuzzier than what Windows, Chromebook and Linux can do. I need to get something called better display to get close?
Secondly, if I plug the usb c hub and usb c adapter into the two usb c ports on the MacBook Pro I won’t be getting an extended display, but a mirrored one? That I need to get a thunderbolt hub or something and possibly use display link?
Can anyone help clear up the confusion? What will I have to do to get my existing dual 4k monitor setup to be extended displays on a MacBook Proin crystal clear 4k, so I have 3 usable screens including the MacBook screen and not simply mirrored displays?
Thanks for any help!
