- Important Note on Adapters: When connecting more than two displays that are not native DisplayPort, you may require activ adapters. Passive adapters are generally sufficient for up to two non-DisplayPort connections. If you experience issues with multiple displays, especially DVI or HDMI, consider using active Mini DisplayPort adapters for optimal compatibility.
