Macbook Air M2 - 2x QHD monitors - more than 60hz?

halo3 · 12-02-2024, 06:22 PM

Hi Gang,

Can you help?

I have a Macbook Air M2 2022 + 2x 2560x1440 (QHD) monitors.

Is it possible to have the main display with a higher than 60hz (@ 1440)? ChatGPT was telling me that it's possible with Alt Mode (main) + DisplayLink (second) but I can't see any docks that have specs with more than 60hz.

Is this at all possible? Which product would achieve this? (I'm based in the UK)

Thanks!

Hola, yo uso este software en mi macbook pro m2, en mi experiencia puedes usar el primer puerto thunderbolt para una pantalla y para el segundo monito usar el DisplayLink.

Yo use el primer monitor a 100hz y el segundo monito a 60 hz (con displayLink), pero el segundo monito va lento a ratos, creo que es por la tarjeta de video de la macbook, el cual no soporta resoluciones de pantalla grande y con muchos HZ. Saludos!

Thanks Alex!

What about if I want to use only 1 cable into the Macbook, so all displays come via the dock?

Pues si conectas ambos cables en via un solo dock, te dara mucho lag en las dos pantallas, eso es lo que me paso a mi, por eso uso un cable via usb c de la macbook y el otro cable por HDMI del dock.
