Compatibility
You can connect up to 3 external displays to the Element 5 Hub on Windows
Thunderbolt 5 PCs that support up to 3 displays, or up to 2 displays on Macs and
PCs that support dual displays.
To connect external displays to the Element 5 Hub you can either connect
Thunderbolt or USB-C monitors directly to the spare Thunderbolt 5 ports, or use
USB-C to HDMI or DisplayPort Adapters (sold separately) to the spare Thunderbolt
5 ports.
* 5K monitors must be a Thunderbolt 4 monitor or an Apple Studio Display. Does not support dual LG UltraFine 5K. 6K monitors can be a Thunderbolt 4 monitor or an Apple Pro
Display XDR.
** Higher refresh-rates (above 60Hz) may require DSC (Display Stream Compression) support on the monitors and host GPU. The bit/color depth may vary in order to support
higher refresh-rates.
*** Some M3 MacBooks such as the MacBook Air can support dual external monitors up to 5K and 6K when the laptop lid is closed (clamshell mode).
**** Currently M1/2/3/4 Macs can only support up to HDMI 2.0b over its Thunderbolt ports. As such, resolutions will be limited to 4K 60Hz when using an HDMI adapter. If a
higher refresh-rate is required, please use a USB-C to USB-C or USB-C to DisplayPort or DisplayPort to DisplayPort connection. For more information about a Mac's external display
support please visit https://support.apple.com/en-us/101571 and https://www.caldigit.com/macbook-multiple-monitor-support-with-caldigit-thunderbolt-docks/
***** Results may vary due to OS updates. For external display compatibility over a single Thunderbolt connection on di erent Windows computers, please refer to the
manufacturer's website.
