Macbook Pro not detecting monitors
Hey everyone I'm not able to get a quad monitor setup to work on my Macbook Pro so hoping someone can help point me in the right direction.
I have four HP p244 23.8" monitors and I'm connecting them to my Macbook Pro using two HP Thunderbolt dock 230 W G2, with two monitors plugged into each one, and then each dock plugged separately into the USB-C ports on my Macbook Pro. The issue I'm having is that all four monitors turn on, but each of the two monitors that plug into the separate HP Thunderbolt docks are showing the same display, ie. they're mirrored. I've installed Display Link Manager and getting the same thing. https://www.screencast.com/t/31II1N8ZcF4w https://www.screencast.com/t/K1u9LQ2LoDH8 https://www.screencast.com/t/zUEGD14xrG0D https://www.screencast.com/t/j5jhN16D Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance |

The HP docking stations you are using do NOT have DisplayLink technology inside of them, so DisplayLink will not be able to assist you. The HP docking stations have a DisplayPort MST hub inside of them which drives the external displays. macOS does NOT support DisplayPort MST, which is why the image content is being mirrored on the displays. |

So what would be my solution if the HP docks won't work? Is there a specific dock I can purchase that will allow me to use the Display Link software to connect 4 external monitors to my Macbook? |
