Secondary Display Capabilities of Macs - Macs By Capability @ EveryMac.com

Mac Systems: By Capability: Secondary Display Capabilities

For your convenience, the secondary display capabilities of each recent -- G3 and later -- Mac are listed below. Complete technical specifications are merely a click away.

Please note that "mirroring" means a Mac is capable of displaying the contents of the first display on a second display and "dual" means that a Mac can support two displays with different content on each display. Systems that are listed as "Mirroring Only" but with an asterisk are capable of supporting dual displays with third-party hacks.

Please also note that this listing is for systems as shipped -- of course, systems that are capable of supporting additional video cards can support additional displays if another video card is installed. Likewise, third-party graphics cards may support resolutions higher or lower than those provided.

In general, please additionally be mindful of asterisks, as these indicate that particularly important details are provided on the complete specs page.
