Run Six Displays on M1, M2, M3 Macs Apple Silicon (Mac Mini, Macbook Air, Macbook Pro)

[@gwesterneng5859]

Love it. There is basically a workaround for everything.

[@JB-fh1bb]

As there should be

[@earthwisescott]

This works! I accidentally ordered the display port adapter instead of HDMI, so if you're wondering if it works. I've seen a few comments about the displays being mirrored after install. You just have to go back to system preferences, open displays, and deselect the mirror displays option. I need 3 displays for home office so this is a big help, thanks!

Great video but do you just have a diagram somewhere? That would be so much quicker than me trying to follow this and write everything down. Also, you mention the 3rd display is connected via USB 3.0 but it has HDMI or DisplayPort ports, so does that mean you're going HDMI to USB 3.0 to the DisplayLink, and then DisplayLink goes to the last Thunderbolt port?

[@PAchiefman]

Hey Ruslan, Your presentations are great and most helpful. I just purchased a 2021 24"IMAC M1. I want connect it to my early 2009 IMAC to use as a second screen. It is running El Capitan 10.11.6- the last IOS update available to that machine. Is this possible? If so, can you provide a step by step? Also, do I need new cables, etc. I know this is a lot. I truly appreciate any help you can provide. Best, Michael

[@kirilokun2426]

Thanks for doing the research and making a video. One thing that would really make it helpful is a diagram of different configurations. You mention different options in the video but it's very difficult to follow and figure out. Thanks in advance.

[@shineonlineuk8959]

Hi mate, Great video. I have an M1 Mac Mini (2020) edition. I have two apple cinema displays connected through the HDMI and one USB C port with an adapter. Can I use the the other USBC port for a third Apple Cinema Display? Cheers!

[@SlayerOfHellWyrm]

Just a heads up, as of current, the DisplayLink driver is only compatible with up to 4 additional displays, and it does not support screen rotations or, clamshell mode (where the MacBook Air/Pro is closed and you use the external displays). DisplayLink displays also have limitations in macOS for protected content, and so if you play that you may need to disconnect all DL connected displays. If you use the Thunderbolt 3 for multiple displays, make sure it's a Thunderbolt 3 adapter, and not USB-C. USB-C to multi-display mostly use MST (Multi-stream transport) which macOS does NOT support. If you're uncertain, ask the maker of the USB-C solution if MST is used for multiple displays or not.

[@jd.coleman]

Thank you so much for this video! What you demonstrated was exactly what I wanted to accomplish with my new MacBook Pro M1. Super!

Thank u And is 8 RAM enough to be used in the development of Flutter applications? about 5 years? And I want to make the M1 a desktop with a 120Hz or 165Hz display, keyboard and mouse.. Will the 8 Ram have some problems? Or better to buy 16 Ram?

[@myfavoritesssssslist]

The same question. Do you find an answer?

[@dylanthornton2175]

What kind of hub/dock connector are you using? We have a Belkin 11 to 1 sent by our work we are trying to make work. Currently the monitors are an Apple Thunderbolt display with a thunderbolt to usb c adapter, and and an LG with a USB-c connection. It appears that we need adapters as the only display ports available on the dock are vga/display port and hdmi. Also, the DisplayLink manager application will not open from the desktop, it is downloaded, but I cant access any management screens...is that because the monitors are not yet connected with the right cable adapters via the dock? Would you recommend getting rid of the Belkin dock in favor of another? Thanks

[@skliero133]

Without all thiis fiddling about, I'm still confused. Will the following work: 3840x2160@60hz and 3440x1440@100hz? I mean, by just using a USB-C to DP and the HDMI port?

[@skliero133]

Even apple doesn't know. Spent considerable time on the phone with various reps. yesterday.

[@SaiKeungTang-sr6lb]

Thanks for the great video and instructions! After just becoming a new user of MacBook Air M2, one issue troubling me is that I can only set up 3 external monitors after using Displaylink. Even when I plug in the 4th monitor using the original USB-C port, one of the 3 external monitors will then become inactive (black screen). So I can use maximum 3 external monitors. In this situation, do you have some trouble shooting tips/ advices to set up 4 monitors if possible? Thank you so much!

[@RuslanTulupov]

How is the setup configured? It might be possible you need more bandwidth to be able to run more screens. Even though the port is USB C, you might a Thunderbolt Hub to get all of the screens working.

[@RuslanTulupov]

Some troubleshooting: When you run them one by one, do the screens work as expected using the same adapter?

[@SaiKeungTang-sr6lb]

@@RuslanTulupov Thanks a lot for your timely advices! As you pointed out, I guessed probably bandwidth could be an issue. Currently I am just using a common USB C port (Novoo USB-C 11 in 1). In combination use with Displaylink I can only connect 3 external monitors as mentioned above. When I use my Windows PC, the same Displaylink can connect 4 monitors. Could you inform what Thunderbolt Hub you are using? What is your recommendation? I am not a high-end Tech user, my main usage is to remotely connect to my computer at office during Work From Home, multiple monitors definitely help. Also one more thing annoying me, when remote to my PC at the office, I found an obvious delay in displaying the movements I performed on the remote PC. When using my Windows PC to do the same, I did not observe such obvious displaying delay. From your knowledge, Is this also due to bandwidth? Any suggestions? Many thanks!

Thank you for all your work, really excited to get my second 4k external back up on a macbook pro M1. It was the only "downgrade" from a 16incher and now it's gone. Thank you

[@Joltiwolfe]

You will need to use a DisplayLink dock or connector to get any more than 1 monitor working with the MacBooks. It will natively support the Apple display, or any other display, but any extra monitors will not be supported without the use of the DisplayLink third party hardware + software. I would suggest just waiting to purchase anything DisplayLink and then just purchase your MacM1Mini, because you should be able to Amazon 1-day order any other devices as needed. If it ends up working out and you don't need DisplayLink, then you saved a few bucks!

Am I correct in thinking if I get the display link port, DisplayLink (High Quality, 4K DisplayPort, 2 Monitors): @t, then I can rig up my system so that I can have three monitors (one on the laptop and the 2 dell) with none of them mirrored?

Yes! :-) Thank you for the kind words, happy to help!

Hi Ruslan, so I received the Startech USB 3.0 to Dual DP Adapter 4k - 60Hz. I connected the two DP inputs of the two external monitors to the device and connected the Startech to a USB port on my Caldigit TS3. With that, I only get one external monitor to work. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!

[@spandya01]

Actually never mind. It's purely my user error. Would help if I connected the cables properly! Thanks man! You are a genius!

[@RuslanTulupov]

Tysir! I’m very glad to hear it worked out! 😁

What about two 1440p@144Hz monitors on m1 macbook air? No luck?

I currently have 2 monitors working on the m1 mac mini, usbc to mini-dvi and the main hdmi port. Am I able to use a usb-c to hdmi dongle to get a 3rd monitor working off the 2nd usb-c port? It doesn't seem to work just by plugging it in. Display link didnt seem to work either. Or does the dongle I'm using matter? I have a satechi one.

I got the smart tech installed. Got 3 monitors up but they only mirrored. I deleted the download reinstalled now I can’t get the 3 monitors up again. Any suggestions would be great. Trying to get 3 separate monitors working.

Followed this tutorial before when buying my mac mini and it gave me hope!😀 My HDMI port is used up for a screen, one of my thunderbolt ports is used as a video input from a video switcher. I have one more thunderbolt port open. Can I add a USB C to HDMI adapter to get an extra display? P.S. I have a pluggable dock that gives me 3 extra HDMI monitors that work perfectly.

Can I use an hdmi to usb-c cable and a usb-c to hdmi adapter? to have two external screens to my macbook pro M1

Is a Display Link adapter required with the DisplayLink software? I have a USB C to HDMI adapter that I am trying to run on my M1 Macbook Pro, and DisplayLink says it cannot detect a device.

I have two monitors on my Mac mini m1 - issue is one size for the second monitor is the same as a laptop screen ... any ideas how to fix so it’s the same size as my first monitor? Both are curved 24inch monitors same brand

We keep trying with our M1 Macbook Pro and when we open displaylink it causes bigsur to crash, any ideas?

[@jackmuller405]
