Alban, thanks for that quick reply. I ordered that one right away, hope it works.

I'm still mad at Apple...

Please do not double post the same question.

I have replied to your other post --> https://www.displaylink.org/forum/sh...ad.php?t=67731 and moved it to the Mac section of the forum.

My laptop: Mackbook Pro M1 - 13 inch

Docking Station: Dell WD19

Monitors: Dell 24 Inch - S2421HS

My external monitors show the same mirrored display. It's extended but both displays show the same picture.

Laptop is open and display on laptop is fine.

One monitor is plugged into DisplayPort port.

One monitor is plugged into the back port next to the HDMI port (so, is that the thunderbolt port?) -- It is plugged into a secondary portable USB-C dock and from there connected to HDMI.

Am I plugging into the correct port? Do I need a cable that goes direct from thunderbolt/usb-c to HDMI?

Would really love to make use of both of these lovely monitors!

Thanks!

Hello,

Dell WD19 is also not based on DisplayLink technology. It is based on native USB-C - macOS does not support MST technology and both monitors will always show the same picture on the external monitors.

Would the Dell D6000 work for Macbook Pro M1?
As it uses DisplayLink software, it seems like that might be a solution for me.

My boss bought me the Dell D6000 linked to above in the quote, and two (2) DisplayPort cables. With DisplayLink software installed, I now have TWO WORKING EXTERNAL MONITORS on my MacBook Pro M1 13".

Thanks for the leads and the links. Life is now worth living, LOL.

YAAAASSSSSSSS

PLEASE please tell me how you got your set up to work! My specs:

Dell D6000
MB Pro M1 2020 13" 16 GB memory
2 LG 4k Ultrafine (24MD4KL-B) monitors (2 TB3 ports and 3 USB-C output ports)
2 Moshi USB C to DisplayPort Cables bidirectional (Support 5K@60 Hz, 4K HDR)
BigSur 11.5.1
DisplayLink Manager 1.4.0

DisplayLink manager sees all 3 monitors and I can even see the arrangement in System Preferences but the screens are black! but if I only set up 1 monitor via the hub then it works (1980 x 1080).

How do I make both monitors display??

I have a Kensington SD4700P with DisplayLink and I am trying to add 2 additional monitors to a Macbook Pro M1 chip. I downloaded the DisplayLink business manager and I enabled the screen recording as instructed. And I have also downloaded and installed the login screen extension and it is showing that it is installed. The second monitor that is plugged into the displayport is still not turning on. I'm not sure what I am missing with it?
