Reddit mentions of Plugable USB C to DisplayPort Adapter - 6ft (1.8m) Adapter Cable (Supports Resolutions up to 4K at 60Hz)

Exactly.

Until now, Thunderbolt 3 to Displayport has been extremely niche. Now with the new Macbook, it's just niche.

Give it some time, you should be able to find an adaptor eventually.


This full size displayport cable claims to support 4K@60Hz, but I can't guarantee that it works with the Macbook:

https://www.amazon.com/Plugable-DisplayPort-Chromebook-ThunderboltTM-3840x2160/dp/B01EXKDRAC

You would also need an adaptor to adapt it to mini Displayport rather than full size.

Many laptops have a USB-C port that is capable of being used in displayport mode, and transmitting a displayport signal.

I have 2 Dell displayport monitors that I connect to my MacBook Pro using one of these cables: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EXKDRAC/

There are also adapters like this for existing cables: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N2ORP84/

Since what you're looking at is "thunderbolt 3 compatible", I believe that also means it'll work in displayport mode.

You should get a monitor that support DisplayPort. The u2417h is a good monitor. And you should get a usb c - DisplayPort cable that support DisplayPort alt mode.

Choetech

Plugable

I have used both of them. I have had no problems at all.

It gets weirder with adapters too. https://www.amazon.com/Plugable-DisplayPort-Chromebook-ThunderboltTM-3840x2160/dp/B01EXKDRAC

This is a 4k60 display port adapter. It requires Thunderbolt 3 or USB-C with "Display Port Alternative mode" which not all USB-C ports have. Even weirder, some USB-C ports won't drive 4K and some won't drive 4K60. And of course plenty of USB-C ports just won't work at all.

For direct USB-C to Display Port:

USB-C to DisplayPort Adapter Cable. Gives the ability to have an external 4k monitor @60 Hz.


9560 comes with HDMI 1.4. Only allowing 4k @ 30Hz.

I recommend swapping to a USB-C->DisplayPort adapter and DisplayPort cable rather than HDMI - its just less complicated that way.

Here is the one that we typically recommend:

Acer's own page for the Aspire V Nitro isn't correct, which is really annoying. According to UltraBook Review, the Acer Aspire Nitro VN7-#93G (5 for 15", 7 for 17") DOES have Thunderbolt 3.

Get a Thunderbolt 3 to DisplayPort cable and you'll be fine.

This is my setup (2016 13" non-TB rMBP, 1080p monitor, 1440p/4k monitor).

I just use a Hootoo USB-C adapter for the 1080p one (HDMI), then a USB-C to DisplayPort cable (for 60hz on 4k).

I even added an additional USB hub, so I have 6 usable USB slots.

I have this TB3 to displayport cable that works well: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EXKDRAC/. If both of your monitors support displayport 1.2 you will be able to daisy chain the monitors. That way you only need to plug in one cable to the laptop and will be cheaper than a splitter.

Yea for the monitor I just use a USB-C to DisplayPort cable.

Forget the USB-C dongle you have. Connect the MBP directly to the monitor with a cable like this.

USB-C supports display port natively. Buy yourself a USBC -> display port cable, something like this. Do not use an HDMi splitter, bad idea. I’m not even sure it would even work.

I would get the smaller one. Better quality display, plus it is "retina" density so it will match your built-in monitor better. A 27" 4K monitor is sort of a weird in-between resolution: not really dense enough for retina mode, but too dense for normal display mode. But there is also something to be said for "bigger is better", especially if you want to watch movies or don't care so much about retina resolution.

If you're willing to forgo USB-C charging there are some other cheaper models you could look at. E.g. Dell has a decent 24" 4K screen for around 350 USD. You would need a USB-C to DisplayPort cable to make that work.

Can't believe that support just did dock sales on you.
You have three videos output ports on Alienware 15 r3. From specs page - 3. Mini-Display Port 1.2 (certified) Output | 4. HDMI 2.0 Output | 5. Thunderbolt™ 3 Port (USB Type-C™ with support for SuperSpeed USB 10Gbps, 40Gbps Thunderbolt, and DisplayPort). One monitor hdmi to hdmi. Another 4k - depends on the input - usb-c to usb-c or usb-c to displayport (monitor). It's straightforward cable.

I currently connect to two relatively older Dell 1080p monitors that only have DisplayPort and VGA out. So I've got two DP to USB-C cables into my MBP + another USB-C for power.

Yes, there is a TB3 port that you can use to connect to a displayport monitor so you can get 144hz if you want. I did it with a cable from amazon

Works great, now I did have some difficulty getting my games to get up to that many FPS, but I did manage it eventually with enough tweaking.

As far as I can tell, the Ultrafine 4K is using Displayport Alt Mode over USB-C rather than Thunderbolt.

You could try connecting to a display using a USB-C to Displayport cable: https://www.amazon.com/Plugable-DisplayPort-1-8m-Chromebook-Thunderbolt/dp/B01EXKDRAC

If it works you could connect both monitors directly to an eGPU e.g. a GTX 1050 with multiple Displayports.

Apple's "Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2" adapter states on Apple's web site that it will not work for DisplayPort, it can only be used for Thunderbolt accessories.

"DisplayPort: This display requires a third-party USB-C to DisplayPort adapter. The Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter doesn't support this display." from https://support.apple.com/en-nz/HT207443

Which was the other adapter you used? Make sure it says USB-C to DisplayPort, even better if it says for MacBook or MacBook Pro, this one for example https://www.amazon.com/Plugable-DisplayPort-1-8m-Chromebook-Thunderbolt/dp/B01EXKDRAC

USB-C supports DisplayPort natively even without thunderbolt

Pick whichever one you like and grab one of these

The USB-C connector should support display port alt mode. Using a cable similar to below it will work just like a mini displayport.

https://www.amazon.com/Plugable-DisplayPort-Thunderbolt-Supports-3840x2160/dp/B01EXKDRAC

The easiest way is just to get two USB-C to DisplayPort cables, such as these.

Obviously I’m assuming your new monitors have DisplayPort. You didn’t specify a model number so I couldn’t verify.

I think also, it's either the cable or the monitor driver. I have following cable, in case this is of any help: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01EXKDRAC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Certainly!

These are what I bought.

Your main issue is MST setting. Apple doesn't support it because their hardware doesn't really need it. Technically, they do support it and here's the page where you can get more info. However, they don't implement the full standard (i.e. Daisy Chaining monitors).

In the link above, you'll notice that your MacBook can, and should, run 2 4K displays without issue but I don't believe you'll be able to do this from your dock.

Primary MST (Multi Stream Transport) takes the entire bandwidth of a DisplayPort 1.2, which runs at 4K/5K 60Hz. From this article, I'm gathering that you can't really drive so many monitors from a single USB type-C cable on MacOS. It's possible on Windows because of full MST implementation, hence why Dell advertises that option.

My suggestion is to use the monitors as USB hubs themselves. The way I have it hooked up, and working, is:

• Monitor 1 --> Keyboard, and other USB plugged into monitor. Monitor USB plugged into Apple AV USB-C Splitter, HDMI 2.0 Cable from same splitter going into Monitor and power passthrough charging going into splitter.
  
• Monitor 2 --> plugged in via USB-C to DisplayPort, directly to MacBook.
  
  As always, my disclaimer is that YMMV and I'm not a computer engineer nor am I an expert of any kind. I've read forums, tried plugs, and got it to work. Also, there are some omissions about HDMI with regards to apple standards and stuff that some folks can nitpick on, however, this post is long enough and you can get your monitors to work without the additional information.
  
  P.S. One thing I did was when I got each monitor to work, individually, is to turned off MST support via the following steps: Monitor OST --> Menu --> Display --> MST --> Off. This allows for each monitor to work in 4K 60Hz, for me. Don't know if it helped or not, just something I did. This came from a Reviewer on Amazon named Bob.
  
  Edit: Formating.

As a reference, I barely hit the constant 144fps mark playing TF2 on low settings with my 1060 blade laptop. So yes, I have my laptop hooked up to a 144hz monitor using this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EXKDRAC. Hope this helps.

I have the Alienware 15R2 (6th gen processor as well and a GTX 970m). I have the same monitor.

I'm currently using Archlinux (up to date) and it works just fine using bumblebee. (works, in fact, much better than connecting to the hdmi port). I'm using this cable. EDIT: minor formatting.

Is it thunder bolt 3.0? I have a Razer blade 2016 and use a thunderbolt (usb-c to display port) to play on my Asus 144hz and it runs at 144hz. Make sure you get one that supports 4K @ 60hz. I got this one:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01EXKDRAC/ref=ya_aw_oh_bia_dp?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I use https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EXKDRAC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_MyfYCbJBPAW9M from my MacBook Pro to a 27inch 2560x1440.

take a look here. #2 (1x USB-C + 1x HDMI) and #3 (2x USB-C + 1x HDMI) look promising. Haven't looked at the others. I'm not sure that 2x USB-C ports means 2x 4k monitors, though. It looks like the Intel HD 620 integrated graphics don't support HDMI 2.0 without a separate chip. You may just be able to get a USB Type-C to Displayport adapter, IDK. I'm out of my depth here, I recommend making a post over at the Notebookreview forums where the real nerds hang out.

Edit: Actually, this is a thing. So I'm guessing you'll be OK as long as you have two USB Type-C ports, plus a separate port for power. You may even be able to daisy-chain two monitors somehow.

Continued research says that Displayport 1.3 and newer is enough bandwidth for 2x 4k 60hz. Holy cow. I think maybe the monitors have to explicitly support daisy chaining, or else you need a DP hub, but as long as you get something with USB C (with Thunderbolt for good measure, most of the nice machines have it anyway) you should be OK.

Hi. 1. Check if your monitor supports charging and data. It most likely does at 60 watts. If you have a 15 inch it will charge a bit slower. So you are good there. Worst case scenario you plug in your charger and the USB c cable.

2. Get a USB c to display port adapter. Plugable USB-C to DisplayPort Adapter Cable (6'/1.8m) for 2016 / 2017 MacBook Pro, MacBook Retina 2015 / 2016, Chromebook Pixel, Thunderbolt 3 & More (Supports 4K / UHD Displays up t https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01EXKDRAC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_MMAMzb3KHCK3A. That’s 1 cable

3. Extended desktop

To connect the MacBook Pro to a PG278Q, you'll need a USB C to displayport cable like this one.
The switching part is where things get tricky. You can get a 2:1 displayport switch like the Lindy brand one on Amazon, but it's only going to support 60hz max. That's fine for the Macbook, but I assume you're going to want a 144hz signal from the PC so that you can enjoy all that your G-Sync video card has to offer. And from what I can tell, there are no displayport switches that can handle 144hz or even 120hz. And even if there were, the cost would be high enough that buying a separate 1440p or 4k monitor just for the Macbook starts to make sense.

I used this cable: Plugable USBC to DisplayPort Adapter Cable

It's actually super nice just being able to use this single cable rather than having to keep track of a small adapter and additional cable.

This one works amazing.

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01EXKDRAC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This also seems legit, but I am tempted to just have the Display Port Cable instead.

I can see that U28E590D has Display Port. Just buy USB-C to Display Port cable and forget HDMI. Something like this should be fine. I use similar cable on a daily basis and have 60Hz at 4K res with MBP 13.

I have this USB-C to HDMI adapter and it works well.

Cable Matters USB-C to HDMI Adapter

Edit: I also have this USB-C to Displayport cable, and it works great too.

Pluggable USB-C to Displayport Cable

People seem to be having luck driving 4k monitors off of 15" Macs with this cable so presumably it should work for 2560x1440 too.

Ok sorry but one more thing, this or this

Unless the SSDs and HDDs are thunderbolt, there isn't much of a reason to run them through the the thunderbolt ports over USB-A unless they're higher speeds than USB3.0. You can connect your monitor using a USB-C to DisplayPort cable, I use one to connect a 4K monitor to my 2017 MacBook Pro, and it runs at 60hz.

Link to the cable I bought: https://www.amazon.com/Plugable-USB-DisplayPort-Adapter-Resolutions/dp/B01EXKDRAC/ref=asc_df_B01EXKDRAC/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312780390407&hvpos=1o2&hvnetw=g&hvrand=6701388570838587492&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9026843&hvtargid=pla-406302874305&psc=1

We cannot speak to that product you linked, unless somebody here has the product and can confirm.

Otherwise.....

I can confirm the devices I own, Bean Canyon and Hades Canyon, both support ThunderBolt-3 over USB-c to external display tha features the DisplayPort connector. This works well, and I'm using this specific cable:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EXKDRAC/

​

The full size DisplayPort or the Mini DisplayPort really doesn't matter very much, I'm just showing you what I use. Obviously if your external display uses mini-DP, then go with able that provides that.

Update: Bought this cable https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01EXKDRAC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

That's USB-C to DP, and it works flawlessly, so far. As it's being used in a Thunderbolt 3 port, it supports higher resolutions at higher refresh rates, so my 2560x1440 @60Hz is fine.

It shouldn't have been necessary, and it's more expensive than any old HDMI cable, but I'm so relieved that it's sorted.

I'll re-check the HDMI to HDMI situation every now and then, after a big kernel or BIOS update, especially as I might want to free up the TB3 port in the future.

https://www.amazon.ca/Plugable-DisplayPort-Thunderbolt-Supports-Resolutions/dp/B01EXKDRAC/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1536071873&sr=8-3&keywords=usb+c+displayport

You don't need a "Mac specific" display. As long as it has at least one DisplayPort you can connect it without any adapters by using a USB-C to DisplayPort cable, which are standard things. Here is one, just as an example:

https://www.amazon.com/Plugable-USB-DisplayPort-Adapter-Cable/dp/B01EXKDRAC/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1536741674&sr=8-5

If it has HDMI instead you can mostly do the same, except with some minor caveats. Resolutions above 4K are harder, but displays that high resolution are getting expensive as well. If you plan on going to 5K, let us know, and we can explain the details.

For gaming, 1080p is probably a good resolution. You can also go to 4K and drop the resolution to 1080p while gaming (that's what I do), but obviously it becomes more expensive.

Yeah if you want the full 60 Hz you’ll have to plug it into the HDMI 2.0 port and not the 1.4 ports. It usually is clearly labeled on the back of the monitor of at the very least in the manual.

I found this other solution that uses display port instead and doesn’t require any adapters if you prefer that. That way you don’t have to deal with the adapters or possibly putting in the wrong HDMI. And it’s only $22. I might get myself one too lol.

The 2018 Mac mini only has Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) connections, not Mini DisplayPort. So you’ll need a USB-C to Mini DisplayPort cable. Here is the one I have:

i found this on amazon UK. plug the displayport into the gpu and usb c into your monitor
