You can of course use a 2nd Thunderbolt 4 port on the Mac to drive a 2nd monitor. As far as I know, DisplayPort over USB protocol only supports a single DisplayPort device from that Mac port. KVM Switch: Expand your workspace with a KVM switch that allows you control 2 systems with one monitor Daisy Chain Connectivity: Free up your desk space and say goodbye to clutter thanks to the daisy chain connectivity capabilities Seamlessly connect your computer/laptop to create a multi-monitor setup. PS if you intend to daisy chain the mac best to check it supports MST, I vaguely remember reading macs don't support displayport MST which would mean no daisy chaining I think. Thunderbolt 4 can be daisy chained (it can even be hubbed), but a USB-C that is NOT Thunderbolt is going to be using the DisplayPort over USB protocols. AFAIK a 1080p at 60Hz plus a 4K at 60Hz would be running close to the limit of displayport 1.2 bandwidth.īeen looking at a similar setup myself between my desktop and my work lenovo, though I don't intend to daisy chain the desktop unless I find there is no downside (eg not confident about Variable refresh rate working when daisy chained). Specs say the displayport is 1.4 rather than 1.2 on this dell, so I'm hopeful that means no issues with a 4K. Then can run any* displayport monitor at the end of the chain. Most USB-C monitors lack daisy chain, and a few have daisy chain but lack the KVM. It is a typical type of network topology. With DCI-P3 color gamut, Thunderbolt 3 and beautiful industrial design, they are the perfect Mac companion. A daisy chain is used to direct the connection of network nodes and nodes of the computer. Since the M1 Mac Mini only supports 1 display with each port type, would it be possible to use dual Dell monitors through 1 USB C/Thunderbolt port by using daisy chaining of the DP 1.2 port HDMI has been causing major issues with black screens and flashing so I am looking to use just the USB C port. Haven't found any other monitor (other than the 1440p 27" of this same monitor) with all 3 of these in my search so far, apart from some much more expensive benqs. The BenQ PD-20 is the perfect Mac monitor. Has daisy chain, usb-c power delivery/dp alt mode and KVM. Is the monitor you describe as the host of the daisy chain.
