Hey, all:

I have a MacBook Pro (early 2015, retina, 13-inch, running macOS HIgh Sierra, version 10.13.6) that I'm using with an external monitor, and I love it. The only thing better would be if I could connect a second external monitor and extend the desktop. I thought it would be simple, but I'm having trouble (namely, I tried to use an adaptor from JCreate -- it didn't work). Any suggestions on how to best do this, or whether it can actually be done? I've got another monitor ... I just don't know how to connect all of this together. Thanks for any help!

Alec

I did this several years ago with my MacBook Pro using a device similar to this one. When I did it I had one monitor directly connected to the computer and one connected through this type of device. At that time there were a handful of applications that I had to run on the screen directly connected to the Mac. That limitation may or may not stil apply.

I suggest getting in touch with their tech support folks. The few times I've had to call tech support they hahve been more than helpful.

I've also seen these but have never used them.

Thank you so much! I'll give this (these) a try.

Let us know what you decide and how well it works. I'm always looking at unusual cinfigurations that are possible. I may not use all of them but it's a nice way to drive my buddies nuts. lol
