Preferably I would like to daisy chain three together if not possible can I daisy chain two together and the third connect direct to the MacBook Pro with a separate thunderbolt cable?

With a 2018 iPad Pro, will this LG UltraFine 4K Display provide both 4K / 2160p 60 Hz simultaneously with USB 3 speeds for attached USB peripherals?
If this monitor is plugged into a USB-C iPad Pro, will the monitor be able to display 2160p60 while at the same time allow connections at USB 3 (5 Gbps) speeds for attached USB-C peripherals?
(Most USB-C hubs with HDMI and USB cannot do both USB 3 + 2160p60 at the same time. It's usually either USB 2 + 2160p60 or else USB 3 + 2160p30.) -

Answer
It works alright. First, make sure you plug the adapter into the correct USB-C slot (the ones with outlines). Secondly, on my Mac Pro (2013) with thunderbolt 2, I have 0 nada control over anything but resolution, rotation, and color gamut. The ambient light sensor doesn't work and it seems to be on full whack brightness. But, I compared it to a thunderbolt 2 display and my iMac retina and it's beautiful. Just need sunglasses when in the dark.
