Resolution and Bandwidth Considerations

The maximum resolution output depends on your system's video card capabilities and the total bandwidth used by all connected displays. MST technology shares video bandwidth across all attached displays.

Imagine: Table detailing various video output resolutions (e.g., 1920x1200@60Hz, 2560x1440@60Hz, 3840x2160@30Hz) for three displays and their corresponding total bandwidth percentage usage. Note that 4K@30Hz is supported on two displays, with the third display at 1080p@60Hz or lower.

Specificații
