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 port. I would rather not buy a DisplayLink hub/adaptor as has been recently discussed on here.
Thanks

I have the same question as I thought that might be an option as a back-up. What Dell models are you using if you don’t mind me asking?

I have yet to receive my MacMini, but I do have two Dell monitors (one of which supports USB-C). However, I plan to use the second monitor’s HDMI port. If I can’t find a reliable two monitor option I will be sending the M1 back to Apple.
 
Dell S2721QS 27 and a Dell U2717D 27. S is 4K, U is 1440p. I used to have 2 1440p displays but since I got the M1 I thought to upgrade for a crispier experience. My S display is arriving on Friday. I'm gonna try the daisy chain and update the post if it works.

I’ve got the D, I’ll have to check on the USB-C Dell Monitor’s model. But I don’t think it has high resolution. Thanks again. I’m sure others will benefit from your experiance.

I guess we have our answer here.
