Can you daisy chain a 4K monitor to the Studio Display?

I'm wanting to do the same thing...... Thanks Apple......

See my reply from October 16. I tried connecting a 1920 x 1080 monitor using a USB-C to DisplayPort cable to the back of the Studio Display, and it does not work.

Thanks, appreciate it. 👍

All I can tell you is my friend has a Hd quality monitor hooked up to his Studio and it works fine. Display port input. And it’s surely not an Apple display. He’s a photographer and would not buy a Apple display if you paid for it.

What do you mean by "it"? DSC has nothing to do with the Studio Display's inability to daisy-chain.


I have daisy-chained two 2560×1440 displays to a Thunderbolt 1 Mac using two daisy-chained Thunderbolt docks. It worked fine. It was even an officially supported configuration using two Apple Thunderbolt Displays.

One 5K display is the equivalent of FOUR original Thunderbolt displays.

pixels yes, size no.
Two Thunderbolt displays can display twice the amount of text that a 5K display can for normal view distances. The 5K display just makes it look sharper.
Many people still use non-retina displays.
