This means that when using the dock, users cannot extend their desktop over two displays, and will be limited to either dual “Mirrored” displays or 1 external display. However, the only limitation is that the M1-based Macs cannot support dual “Extended” displays through their Thunderbolt ports.

It comes equipped with dual HDMI ports, allowing you to connect two external displays using HDMI, while delivering up to 94w of charging power! This is enough to power even the biggest of laptops, such as the MacBook Pro 16″! Despite its name, this dock is a full Thunderbolt 3 or 4 docking station that works with USB-C and any certified USB4 laptop or tablet!Īll CalDigit docks are fully compatible with the M1-based Macs including the ability to charge a laptop. The CalDigit USB-C HDMI dock is made for real power users. using a displaylink adapter, you can at least get one other external display, and use the native M1 GPU for the other external display, giving you three total screens.Lease a Caldigit USB-C HDMI Docking Station for BOTH Mac & PC laptops And allowing people to only have one external display natively taking us back to the stone age of computing. It's been awesome because I've been reached out to by 4 or 5 people updating their M1 Macs, and suddenly losing displays :) and making a lot on consulting fees trying to finagle multiple monitors. Thanks Apple for every update messing with people's external display settings. I think you've seen plenty of threads showing people having these kinds of problems riddled everywhere. I'm using the latest version of Ventura 13.2. I have found that if you use a displaylink adapter to try and manage More than one external displays (2) using only the displaylink software, overtime it may work for a while but, will ultimately fail or have issues on the future. I used a caldigit ts3+ and a zmuping usbc adaptor Īnother way is just get one of any USB-C dock with displaylink support, and using display link to manage one external display, then use the other cable, USBC to HDMI for the other monitors, which is provided by the native gpu M1 chip on the mac. This means two external displays, and The laptop's built in display for a total of 3. This is accomplished with the M1 MacBook Air using its one external display support, using the GPU in the m1 chip (and using the caldigit's ports for usbc to hdmi) for the other display. This is specifically for a Mac M1 Air, not MacBook m1 pro, and not Mac mini.
