Technically if you connect the monitor to the Docking Station via HDMI or Display Port (not USB) then the monitor itself doesn't need to support Display Link 1.3\1.4, just standard HDMI\Displayport.ZDNet's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. Your laptop (like most) is only display port 1.2 so it's a no-go. To get dual 4k at 60hz over a single USB-C cable, the Laptop, and Docking Stations must support Display Port (Display Link) 1.3\1.4. Here is where it get's misleading and depends on your connectivity.Įg: Majority of Docks, Laptops and Monitors only support USB-C DisplayPort (Display Link) 1.2, which technically can support 2 x UHD at 60hz (however in the real-world, a dock\hub will be used, this halves the bandwidth as it will enable the USB functionality, leaving the max res at 2 x UHD at 30hz). Parking the issue that M1 doesn't support 2 displays. Neither of your laptops support DisplayLink 1.3\1.4 so they have insufficient bandwidth over 1 cable for dual 4k 60hz.įor the Dell 5300, if you require dual 60hz then it's USB-C for one then HDMI for the second monitor There will be a new revision of Thunderbolt 4 in the future (so the USB-C/Thunderbolt mess will continue, but probably more for 6K or 8K, so the pain will be much later). If you have a deep pocket, then you could go M1 Pro/Max/Ultra, Intel 12th gen and go Thunderbolt 4 (which, display wise, is really just Thunderbolt 3 with all features implemented). If you insist on doing that, you will end up having to deal with the lowest common denominator for all your devices. The most sensible way is not to go down this USB-C pipe dream marketing hype Apple and Intel are feeding you. Without DisplayLink, you cannot get dual external monitors.

Next, you need to tackle Apple "clearly" holding back M1 (so M1 Pro and M1 Max look a lot better).What that means is that you essentially have to change your USB-C monitor operating mode to prioritise display (so all USB-A ports via the USB-C link are USB 2.0 only). That means, at USB-C/alt-mode, you need to go down to DP 1.2 to achieve 4K/60Hz. i5-8365u, while the USB-C chipset is technically capable of DP 1.4, the embedded GPU isn't.

Furthermore, it doesn't play well with USB-C monitors made for Windows (works, but not perfect, try disconnect and re-connect repeatedly, see how fast you get the display on USB-C showing again).

I managed to get it to work however because the hp Dock had a separate full usb 3.2+dp pass through, so got a separate usbc-dp dongle on the Dock and that did work. I had the hp thunderbolt Dock, which apparently did support dual 4k, but i think the MONITORS needed to support dp1.3/1.4 too (for hbr3). Need someone with more Apple experience to confirm.Īlso on the dell, it's going to be either very difficult or very expensive. I don't think the M1 supports dual displays outside of a virtual display adapter. For the M1 there is absolutely no solution.
