MacBook Pro can't use more than 1 external monitor at a time
Hello,
I've recently purchased 2 new external monitors to pair with my Macbook Pro M3 Pro, which is supposed to be able to handle up to 2 external monitors of 6k@60hz + 4k@144hz (as per this support page How many displays can be connected to MacBook Pro - Apple Support)
For reference, the 2 monitors are the:
- LG 32GX870A-B (32" 4k@240hz)
- LG 32U990A-S (32" 6k@60hz)
But I can't seem to make it work with both of them, I have to shut off one of the 2 monitors for the other one to work and vice versa.
I've tried all of the port combinations I could think of, such as HDMI + TB5, USB-C + TB5, USB-C + HDMI ...
I've also tried to plug both of them into a TB3 dock, yet the same issue persisted.
I've obviously made sure I am on the latest version of MacOS (Tahoe 26.1 as per 11/19/25)
Other troubleshooting guides suggest that I reduce resolutions on the monitors themselves, but it doesn't seem possible with those 2 monitors.
Small precision, my old setup of 2 monitors (27" 2k@144hz and a 27" 4k@60hz) worked perfectly for years.
Here are some screenshots of the system information actually detecting the 6k display on thunderbolt, yet not using it as a display
Am I missing something ? Or did anyone find a solution to such issue ?
