Dell U2717D MST to DELL S2817Q
Hi there, is it possible to use the MST feature on the dell U2717D to connect this to the DELL S2817Q?
I have tried this, but it just mirrors the display (only appears as one display to the machine).
The MST option is enabled on the U2717D.
The machine I am using is a 2016 MacBook Pro 15 with Radeon pro 460 GPU.
Thanks

Hi daverous,
Thanks for posting.
Page 27 of the manual shows how to connect using the MST option.
Since Dell did not test/validate these monitor models on Apple proprietary hardware/software, it's not sure it will work.
In theory, those two monitors could be daisychained via DP 1.2/MST. But, it's doubtful that the Apple laptop could push the required resolutions U2717D 2560x1440 60Hz and S2817Q 3840x2160 60Hz. You should probably try asking on the Apple Forum.
