There is no way to extend past one native display using the Thunderbolt/USB4 ports on any M1-based Mac. ![]() ![]() Specifically, M1-based computers can only support one external display connection via Thunderbolt/Alt-Mode. The other side of this scenario comes from display limitations on M1 Mac-based computers. While there are Thunderbolt 3 to HDMI/DVI/DP/VGA display cables that can work both ways, they can not do so for DisplayLink devices. Currently, there is no way to go from a DisplayLink adapter or dock to a Thunderbolt 3 or Alt-Mode display. That works very well for Thunderbolt 3 and USB-C Alt-Mode supporting computers, but issues arise when you connect the display to a DisplayLink-based docking station or display adapter. These displays tend to support USB-C Alt-Mode DisplayPort connections. One thing to understand is that the Thunderbolt 3 connection extends a display using DisplayPort. There has been a lot of talk about Thunderbolt 3 displays like the LG UltraFine 5K, and while it is an impressive display, there are a few things you'll want to know if you’re planning to connect one of these displays to an M1 Mac computer along with a USB-C Alt-Mode or a Thunderbolt 3 docking station. ![]()
