Can a MacBook Pro 15 run three external monitors?
The 2017 MacBook Pro 15″ can support three external displays (up to 4K) but not on one Thunderbolt bus. It has two Thunderbolt busses with two ports each. To run three external displays you need to connect two to one side (using two ports or a dock) and one to the other side.

Click the Support tab, then click Specifications. On the web page that appears, the number of displays your Mac supports will be displayed under Video Support or Graphics.
What’s the screen resolution on my MacBook Pro?
However, when I try to use that resolution, my screen looks like this which is clearly not right (it looks impossibly pixellated and really hurts my eyes, you can barely see anything on the screen). On the monitor, it says it’s displaying 800×600 when my Mac says it’s displaying 1680×1050.
Why does my external monitor not work at full resolution?
I purchased a two-pack of identical HDMI cables (AmazonBasics brand) that both “support 4k” which I connect via a USB-C adapter to the USB ports on a MBP with a 4k display on the other end. The problem turned out to be that one of the HDMI cables in the pack appears to be defective.
Why does my MacBook Pro say 800×600?
On the monitor, it says it’s displaying 800×600 when my Mac says it’s displaying 1680×1050. I’ve seen questions about VGA cables/adaptors etc. asked before, but they all said it was to do with the resolution being too high. My monitor (and adaptor) can display 1920×1080 so that would appear to not be the case here.
