MacBook Pro M1 dual monitor setup: how to keep one display native?

Hi there,

I use my MacBook Pro M1 for professional purposes, and I'm taking into consideration DisplayLink technology for a dual-monitor setup (27" 4K), but I have a few doubts.

Looking at the DisplayLink docking stations available on the market, it appears that all the output ports use DisplayLink to connect the display to the computer, but Apple M1 does support one external monitor!

So my question is: how can I use DisplayLink for the second monitor only and keep the first one "native"?

NOTE: It's very important to have 60hz.

Speaking of performance, I'd be also curious to know your personal experiences with DisplayLink.

Thanks!
