The solution to use more than one external monitor on Apple Silicon M1 computers is here

Apple Silicon-equipped MacBook Air, MacBook Pro and Mac mini are very nice computers that one to experience them to be able to understand how fast they can be.

Unfortunately, though they do not support more than one external monitor over Thunderbolt / USB-C.

Unique solution

But there is actually a solution. ALOGIC Triple Display Hybrid Dock does manage up to three external monitors and even in 4K 60 Hz. There is also Gigabit Ethernet, multiple USB 3 ports and 80 watts of Power Delivery charging to the computer.

The Universal Twin HD and Twin HD Pro hubs from ALOGIC are also able to drive more screens via the same technology, but then a maximum resolution of 1080p applies. The difference between regular Twin HD and Twin HD Pro is that the latter supports 85W Power Delivery.

The technology behind it

These hubs are the first on the market from ALOGIC to use DisplayLink technology. In short, a large part of the image processing is handed over to the hub itself. Thus we are not dependent on the limitations of the computer.
