I believe an M1M chip in the MBP can drive three 6K displays - so you can run 2 ASD and 1 XDR. Not sure how the Caldigit will deal with it however. Might need to have them plugged directly to the laptop.I have 2 studio displays and thinking of getting the Pro XDR to be in the center. I currently have M1 Max 64gb ram with Caldigit TS4 dock. Is there anyway to run 3 monitors with M1 Max or is the M3 Max the only laptop that can handle three displays. WIll plugging in T4 cables from Studio Displays to M1 Max allow me to run 3 displays?
Are you trying to plug all three displays into the TS4? Because it only supports two.I got the M3 Pro Max 40 core and connected to Caldigit T4 dock. For some reason only 2 apple displays and laptop screen work. I have older NEC PA271 27" 2560pixel wide monitor attached but it will only come on if one apple studio display is unplugged. I have the NEC connected via Displayport.
What are your needs for a monitor? Pro Display XDR is designed for those needing to do color-critical HDR work. From my seat, this circa-2019 device is now long-in-the-tooth and in dire need of updating, that it hasn't come down in price over the intervening years is not a trophy that Apple can place on its mantle, IMHO. At some point (this coming year, hopefully) the market will see ≥4K HDR color-critical displays, I'm, personally, waiting on the competition for my HDR needs. YMMV.Is it still worth buying the Pro XDR display? or Wait for Apple to release and updated one?
Apple rarely update their displays. The Thunderbolt display was on sale for five years, the Cinema display before that was on sale for 12 years. The XDR is currently almost exactly 3 years old.
If you need one, get one. But you may be happy with a third-party 5K display instead, which could be cheaper.
Heh. I wish.What are your needs for a monitor? Pro Display XDR is designed for those needing to do color-critical HDR work.
