You can control up to 4 monitors directly. These are more expensive but with a single USB-C connection you get multi-monitor support, a ton of USB ports, card readers, ethernet and 65W-100W charging.Īfter connecting a DisplayLink adapter to your MacBook, install the required softwareĪnd your monitors should appear in System Preferences -> Displays and in Lunar. On your Mac, choose Apple menu, then System Preferences, Displays and Colour. These are cheaper but they need a separate USB-C hub or adapter as they only have an USB-A connector. If the device doesnt power on or is unresponsive.
To work around this limitation, DisplayLink adapters can collect video data from the Mac through a simple USB connection and then send it to multiple monitors. First, I exchanged the USB-C cable that came with the monitor for an Apple Thunderbolt 3 cable, that. Even though the M1 MacBook has two Thunderbolt ports, only one of those can be connected to a monitor.
