Connect an external display to your iMac Pro
The Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports on your iMac Pro support video output. You can use an external display, a projector, or an HDTV with your iMac Pro.
Note: The Thunderbolt 3 ports on your iMac Pro are managed by two controllers, one for the two left ports, the other for the two right ports. Each controller can support two 4K displays or one 5K display. So you can connect up to four 4K displays or two 5K displays to your iMac Pro. To connect two 5K external displays, for example, connect the first 5K display to either of the first two Thunderbolt 3 ports, and the second 5K display to either of the last two Thunderbolt 3 ports. See Connect multiple displays to your iMac Pro.
