the Apple standard for its built-in hardware-accelerated displays: They are suitable for production/display of cinema-quality video with NO dropped frames, and NO dropouts or partial-blank scan lines due to memory under-runs or other issues.


You can connect ONE such display, and it can be as large as the "6K" Apple display HDR.


There are many third-party add-ons that provide a "fake" display, that is not up to the same standard, PROVIDED your needs are for slow-to-change data such as computer program listings, stock quotes, or spreadsheets, but NOT for full motion Video, not for Video editing, and absolutely not for gaming.
