Finally a simple and easy answer! Thank you!

I needed this information, thanks for helping me.

Hey so I have a 2021 16 inch MacBook Pro M1. Would the Wavlink work for mine or would I need to use the Docking station?

[resslerartstudios]

the bummer is i cant keep the power cord, the wavlink adapter works great but the port for the power is covered over

[mubashircodes]

i dont have hdmi port on my macbook pro touch bar edition, only i have is 2 c ports

[harchitb]

I have a 2021 macbook pro M1 Pro. Do I need the wavelink adapter or can I use a usb-c to HDMI dongle for my second monitor? I have my first monitor on the mac's default hdmi port. And I can use the dongle on the other usb-c ports?

hey, Ryan!
does the macbook's video adapter work well with 2 external monitors? do the cpu/gpu fans work all the time? if you watch video on one of the monitors?
i have an intel macbook pro with 2 external monitors and it's a pain for me – fans are always working, so i'm asking because i want to upgrade to M-series CPU macbook pro

[mcdonnellpadraic]

I got a docking station with with a tunderbolt. Will that work???

[davidciavucco]

I went crazy to find a simple video like this 😂😊

[arasukiasyan]

so if i use one monitor with a usb-c and one with hdmi will that work?

[cj.lambert]

doesnt work with some "USB C Hub Adapter" like the Selore @ S-Global I have from work wont support dual monitors on macbook pro M2 chip. I would suggest going for what he suggests in this video

What are the limitations to the type of displays that are connected to an M1 Pro MacBook Pro? For example, could I have a 5k display and say the LG dual up display?

[gandhisFlipFlops]

Bro what my m1 mac book pro has only two usb c ports and a headphone port nothing else.

[mike-oliverstein]

Hey can I connect two different Monitors to the M1 Pro like this or must it be two similar ones?

[jonathanmendez]

If I want to keep my MacBook closed and just use the two external monitors. Will the docking station support that?

[diartexysaucedo]

And if i have macbookpro 14, chip M1 Pro, can i Connect 2 monitors? One in hdmi and the other in Thunderbolt 4?

[orcegtr]

Thanks . You can mirror then your MacBook Pro to a external display ?
I would like to get 2x LG 27 4K display with my new MacBook Pro M1

Hey Ryan! I have a 2020 macbook pro with an M1 chip. I have a hub, and when I bought a HDMI to USB-C it didn't work. My laptop only has two USB-C ports that the hub plugs into. One of my monitors plugs into the hub via HDMI and works. The Hub has 2 USBs and one extra USB-C (my charger goes into the other one). Any ideas to get the second display to work?

[mahee]

@ryanphan, can I use 2 USB-C to HDMI connectors to plug two monitors into mac’s two TB4 ports independently or into a single docking hub coming out of one of the mac’s TB4 port.

Also can you confirm if daisy chaining or MST does work on MBP 2023 base variant? and please clarify if it works only on usb-C or DP port daisy chaining too. (Lots of videos out there are spreading outdated information, you were right on spot! Kudos!)

Looking forward to your answer!

I tried it but, both monitors perform same functionality in sync .
