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 (HBR3) signal, whereas the LG and Apple ones use DP1.2 and HBR2.
I was hoping someone more knowledgable than me can confirm if this would work, and how I would set it up. I'm not really sure if a normal DP -> thundetbolt cords/adapters would work, or if I need some sort of dock with an external GPU? I'd love to understand my options a bit better.
My goal is to plug one cord into my laptop and have it charge, and output to both monitors at 5k.
Also more generally, if anyone has these Prolite monitors with a MBP, would love to hear how they work. If this daisy chaining doesn't work, I'm not sure if I'd want these or the LG 5k's. It seems crazy to me that the Studio Display's, after all this time and for all this money, dont have DP 1.4. Maybe they'll release something in June or whenever that will fix this.
