    Daisy-chaining one Thunderbolt display and one DisplayPort display

    Hi, I'd like to get a second display. I already have Lenovo P27u-10 with USB-C port (DisplayPort + power delivery). I know macOS doesn't support MST so I was looking for a Thunderbolt display as the second one. I found Samsung F32TU870, from the Samsung website, it seems they support chaining...

    Daisy Chain LG ultra fine 4k and 5k

    I recently upgraded my setup with a 5k Ultra fine monitor but wanted to run dual monitors with my old 4k Ultra fine. I know that you cannot daisy chain a 5k ultra fine because it lacks the thunderbolt connections. I read somewhere that it could be the "end" of the daisy chain if I start with the...

    Daisy chaining two 27" 5k monitors over DisplayPort 1.4?

    Hi, I have a 2021 14" m1 mbp, and would like to connect it to two 5120x2880 monitors. I know I cannot daisy chain two LG Ultrafine 5ks, or two Apple Studio Displays, but I wasn't sure if I could daisy chain two PROLITE XB2779QQS-S1s. According to this thread, they use a single DisplayPort 1.4...

    How to connect old Apple Cinema Display 27"? Daisy chain to Studio Display?

    I would like to keep using my old Mini Displayport 27" Apple Cinema Display (from ca. 2011) as a secondary monitor on the Mac Studio. From my initial research it seems like HDMI to Mini Displayport adapters are problematic. I would also like to avoid using one of the Thunderbolt 4 ports as I...

    Advice on the perfect dock/dongle for an M1 Macbook Pro

    Hello everyone. After much consideration I finally came to the conclusion that I'll probably buy the 13" macbook pro, as I'm in urgent need of replacing my computer and I want to invest in the future (ARM) rather than getting an Intel machine. That said I'm not familiar with the whole...

    Daisy Chain Dell monitor on M1 Mac Mini?

    Since the M1 Mac Mini only supports 1 display with each port type, would it be possible to use dual Dell monitors through 1 USB C/Thunderbolt port by using daisy chaining of the DP 1.2 port? HDMI has been causing major issues with black screens and flashing so I am looking to use just the USB C...

    2 Extended Displays on 15in Mid-2012 MBP

    So I've recently been looking into purchasing 2 displays to connect to my MacBook Pro. After days of research I've come to the conclusion that MST (daisy chaining through Display Ports) won't work, as Mac OS doesn't support it. So my main issue is how am I supposed to connect to 2 monitors...
