Yes. From Apple's support page HT210754

You can connect as many as four displays in these configurations:

Two 6K displays with resolutions of 6016 x 3384 at 60Hz
Two 5K displays with resolutions of 5120 x 2880 at 60Hz
Four 4K displays with resolutions of 4096 x 2304 at 60Hz

Best Answer:
@ Benjamin - Thanks for responding.

I learned that the monitor doesn't officially support portrait mode but I tried rotating the orientation into portrait mode in an Apple store and it worked. (I didn't rotate the monitor itself, just the presentation.) So I went ahead and bought one and put it on a VESA mount and portrait mode has worked fine for several months now. In fact it's worked fine using two of these monitors in portrait mode. I'm using a 15" 2017 MBP. Not sure why it's not officially supported. Perhaps I'm risking something, but it's been great so far.

Answer
I used the USB-C to 3.5mm adapter and it works for a short time as "Line" via the Sound menu in System Preferences, but never stays there for long. It'll work for about 30 minutes and then stop, reverting to the monitor speakers. I've found the only way to keep a steady connection is to plug directly into the Macbook itself. Not ideal but it works.

Hello!

Yes, the monitor height can be adjusted up and down - the lowest setting is 2" from desktop to the bottom edge of the monitor. The highest setting places the edge 8" up from the desktop.
