My journey for dual displays with my M1 Pro Mac (2021)
I think I’m a unicorn. 14” M1 Max, triple displays, albeit with two cables. We also have an M1 Pro in the house w&#x2F; CalDigit TS3 (non-plus), which is driving dual 4k’s without issue.<p>I’m confused why the author didn’t just purchase one of the cornucopia of Thunderbolt 3 (or 4) docks that do everything including display output.<p>Triple config (M1 Max):
- OWC Thunderbolt 4 dock, connected to 2 4k displays, network, speakers, USB devices
- 5k display connected direct to the mac<p>Dual Config (M1 Pro):
- CalDigit TS3 dock, connected to 2 4k displays, speakers, ethernet, USB devices<p>Works perfectly, and we have no complaints about either config.<p>Why Is the 5k direct connect? Because there aren’t any TB docks that support 3x displays when pushing &gt; 4k; I’m unclear if it’s technically possible.<p>I had previously run triple displays on a 13” Intel MBP using an eGPU.
