Details
Via usb c dp alt mode (Thunderbolt 4): up to 3 displays at up to 6K@60Hz (up to 2 displays) plus one 4K@144Hz over HDMI.
Conditions
- HDMI is HDMI 2.1 on this generation and can alternatively drive 8K at 60Hz or 4K at 240Hz.
- M2 Max supports 2 simultaneous Thunderbolt external displays (a reduction from M1 Max's 3); M4 Max later restored support for 3.
Worth knowing before you buy
- Reaching the maximum simultaneous display count may depend on which ports are used together and the cable/adapter's own bandwidth — mixing connector types can behave differently than using a single port type.
