Macs released before 2011 without Thunderbolt, the 2012 Mac Pro and the single USB-C Retina MacBook are incompatible with the Thunderbolt Display without use of additional adaptors. The Thunderbolt Display also added a Gigabit Ethernet port and FireWire 800 port. New to the Thunderbolt Display was the switch from Mini DisplayPort and USB to a single Thunderbolt connector for data and DisplayPort. It replaced the 27-inch Apple LED Cinema Display. But again it only works on the last display because a display that is receiving an HDMI signal cannot continue a daisy chain "downstream".The Apple Thunderbolt Display is a 27-inch flat panel computer monitor developed and sold by Apple Inc. The only portion that's native HDMI is the signal between the active adapter and the last display, which is fine because the last display doesn't need to "know" that it's at the end of a chain. But the reason it at least CAN work is because in this case, from the PC's perspective and the perspective of all displays in the chain except the last one, the entire signal chain is still using native DisplayPort signaling.
This has been confirmed to work in at least one case I've seen here, but I can't know for sure whether it would be universal. PC's USB-C out > USB-C to USB-C cable > Display #1 USB-C input > Display #1 DP MST output > DP to HDMI active adapter > HDMI cable > Display #2 HDMI input In addition, the use of an active DisplayPort to HDMI adapter, like this one, can at least sometimes be used to drive the last display in the daisy chain. (And the total bandwidth requirements of all 3 displays must also be within the total display bandwidth available on the chain, but that's true of any daisy chain setup.) On Linux, the built-in display can't be completely disabled, so it always counts toward the GPU's maximum display count. Very nice! I will simply add that a triple display daisy chain from an Intel GPU system is possible as long as the built-in display is set to disabled - which is only possible on Windows. * Hold the green check down for 8 seconds * Press the monitor Input Source select button

This means that either your video card or the driver is not DP 1.2/MST compliant. I turned DP 1.2/MST on and get a black screen?

How to Daisy Chain Multiple Monitors Using DisplayPort Multi-Stream Transport (MST) The first monitor must support enabling or turning on DP 1.2/MST in its OSD (On Screen Display) Menu and must have the DP out port. Daisy Chain = Connecting a second monitor to the first monitor via the usage of the first monitors DP out port and the second monitors DP in port or mDP in port.
