Don’t send that M1 Macbook back yet, you CAN add two 4K monitors.
Out of the box, Apple’s new M1-powered Macbooks only support one external monitor, but you can get around that limitation. In this video, we use a Plugable Dual 4K DisplayPort or HDMI Display Universal Docking Station (UD-6950Z) to show you how to easily and affordably connect two 4K monitors to your Macbook Pro or Macbook Air.

WOW! I can't believe how easy this was. Granted, the price is a lot more than I wanted to pay, but totally worth it now that I have it.

@tonyatruelove5304 2 года назад

Thank you so much plugable! I have a MacBook Air (M1, 2020) - I was so disappointed when other adapters weren't allowing both monitors to work. I downloaded your software, got the docking station and on the first try both monitors work!

Hey, now that you have it. Is the resolution the same? Any bugs or lagging? Have you had any problems so far? Just asking before I order the docking station :) Thanks

Thank you for reaching out! The docking station in the video (UD-6950Z) connects to your 2019 Intel MBP via USB-C. Only one connection is needed to achieve driving two 4K displays. Please reach out to Support@Plugable.com for additional support. Thank You!

I hope this works for my M1 MBP setup with two 4K monitors. I do plan to trade it for the M1X with the extra ports. I have a family member that has a 2018 MBP that will be able to use the Plugable dock once I upgrade who really could not care about dual monitors and only wants the dock to connect one monitor and for ethernet. My Startech TB3DOCK2DPPD was doing fine with my old mid-2014 MBP. Got it free to review and used it for many years. I will donate it to another family member currently using my 2014 MBP.

I have two monitors and I had the same issue. I bought a little USB-C to HDMI dongle for one extended display. For the second one, I used a 1080p Apple TV that was already in my house. Plugged the Apple TV into the second monitor, clicked system settings on my MacBook, clicked displays, clicked the add button and it let me mirror a screen to that Apple TV. Works great!

@Plugable Год назад

Hello Brent, we're glad to hear your solution worked!

@brentjones6249 Год назад

@@Plugable it has its limitations. It isn’t giving me 1080p at 60hz lol. I actually bought one of your products last night because I have three monitors. In no way was I trying to crap on your product lol. Hope you guys know that. I just know that some folks are a little limited on resources and they make some form of a streaming device with airplay. However, your port that contains display link is the most ideal solution. The Apple TV worked but it was a noticeable difference in image quality when two monitors were side by side. It isn’t ideal at all. Its just possible for someone who is on a budget. I will continue to buy your products. I’m in a coding bootcamp right now and I’m a marketing major. You guys are smart for offering an alternative for M1/M2 Mac users. Your method is far more affordable than upgrading to a new device. Nothing but respect for your products and company

Thank you for contacting Plugable! In a nutshell, DisplayLink USB graphics works by converting video data into USB data. However, there is additional software overhead that results from this. Therefore, while DisplayLink USB graphics is great for general office or productivity tasks, we don't recommend DisplayLink for more graphics intensive tasks such as gaming. If optimal performance is a concern, then I'm afraid you would not want to consider DisplayLink solutions.

Does Plugable USB 3.0 Dual 4K Display Horizontal Docking Station with DisplayPort and HDMI for Windows and Mac (Dual 4K DisplayPort & HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet, Audio, 6 USB Ports) do the same job? does it work as well`?

@davidw5580 2 года назад

MANUFACTURER ANSWER: Thanks for asking! Yes, our UD-6950H dock that you mention can also work.

@cybrpunk_eth 2 года назад

This docking station is nice when it works. But as soon as your mac goes to sleep only one of the two monitors work! To fix it I have to do a combination of unplugging the docking station and restarting DisplayLink Manager multiple times and even then it wont work sometimes.. This is immensely annoying. How can I fix this? Or will I have to return this?

@Plugable 2 года назад

Hi Chris, thank you for contacting us, I am sorry this is not working as expected. I recommend contacting our support team via email at 'support@plugable.com', we are happy to help get this working. Thank you,

With this connection option, will I be able to use all three monitors (laptop + 2 external monitors) without an external keyboard and mouse? Will I be able to drag windows with the trackpad between all three monitors?

@Plugable 2 года назад

Thanks for asking. Yes, you can still use the keyboard and trackpad directly on the laptop while using the dock to extend two monitors. Dragging applications between all monitors can be done with the laptop's trackpad.

To attach two 4k usb c monitors, Do I have to simply attach it to two thunderbolt ports of laptop? Or it won't work as some people pointed in google? I have a macbook pro 2019 intel.

@kensan73 Год назад

My 2019 intel mbp worked just fine with HDMI -> usb-c adapters. (The same physical devices did not work on my m1 mbp. The monitor would only run in 4k@30Hz not 4k@60Hz.)

Does this docking station (UD-6950H) support two 4k 60 HZ monitors for Mac Pro M1 13" with Big Sur version? Or which docking station supports other than (UD-6950Z) is compatible? Thanks!

@Plugable 2 года назад

Thank for asking! Yes it does! The UD-6950H's core features are the same as the UD-6950Z. The DisplayLink chipset version 6950 supports 4K 60hz displays. We're available to help with anything else if you need it, please feel free to email us directly if you wish. support@plugable.com -Sean

Im having a similar issue each time I shut down or restart I have to take the Mac out of my bridge stand open it up enter my password and launch the display link manager again. Is there a work around to make the display link manager just auto run in start up?

@Plugable Год назад

Hello Brandon, thanks for reaching out! There is a way to have it automatically run on login. Within the DisplayLink Manager window, you can select the "Automatically start on login" Here is a link to a picture showing the setting selected: media.plugable.com/images/kb/1185378/019_main_displaylink_status_window_auto_start_checked-lg.png I hope this helps!

@brettjustplay 2 года назад

So does the docking station need to have 'Display Link' or the monitors ? Both of my monitors only have 1 hdmi port available.

@Plugable 2 года назад

Thanks for asking. You will be able to connect two HDMI monitors to the dock. The demonstration just shows that you can use 1 DisplayPort and 1 HDMI connection, but it is possible to use 2 HDMI connections or 2 DisplayPort connections depending on the input ports available on your monitors.

@ErickMartinez-jk7em 2 года назад

Can you use two HDMI ports at once for dual monitors? In the video you used one DIsplayPort and one HDMi..

@Plugable 2 года назад

Yes, you can use two HDMI ports at once, two DisplayPorts at once or a mix of 1 HDMI port and 1 DisplayPort.

@khoado830 2 года назад

I want to get this so bad because every product I see only lets you do mirroring instead of 3 separate screens. So I like how you can have 3 separate screens for this. For this product, I don’t need those extra ports is there any where you can have 3 monitors but only for hdmi? Maybe something cheaper? Help

@Plugable 2 года назад

Thank you for asking. While we do have DisplayLink USB 3.0 display adaptors that could be used to just extend displays, like the USBC-6950U, it is actually more expensive than going with one of the docking station options listed in this video.

@alainagenor8130 Год назад

If I've connected two monitors, is there a way to combine them in to a makeshift ultra wide display?

@Plugable Год назад

Hello Alain, thanks for reaching out. While our products and the software used within are unable to achieve this, some third party software may be able to. However, we would be unable to confirm compatibility when connected via our docks. Sorry we couldn't be of more help.

Thank you for contacting Plugable! Our UD-3900 docking station is currently available via Amazon --> plugable.com/products/ud-3900 and can support dual 1080p monitors on an M1-based MacBook. Thank you! Ryoma

@johnrivera8009 2 года назад

Do you have a product that can do all of this AND charge the laptop?

@Plugable 2 года назад

Thanks for asking, yes! We have several docking stations that offer up to three displays with Macs (M1 and Intel) and can offer USB-C Power Delivery charging up to 60W. These dock models include our: UD-ULTCDL, UD-ULTC4K, UD-3900PDZ, and UD-6950PDZ. You can find these products on our website at plugable.com/products and if you have any questions feel free to reach out to us directly at support@plugable.com as we'll be happy to assist.

will this work with two ultrawide monitors on m1 macbook pro 13.3 from 2020?

@Plugable Год назад

Hello Justin! The M1 should not be an issue, though we would like to know more about the monitors. If you'd like an in-depth recommendation, we would recommend reaching out to our product owners at plugable.com/pages/support with the model and brand of your displays. I hope this helps!

@chloealix8063 2 года назад

I was so excited to see a solution to this, but when I clicked the link in your bio and it took me to your product on Amazon, one of the product photos said that this product is not compatible with macOS. Can you clarify?

@yageshpanta3651 2 года назад

I believe you will need to install a driver for it to work. I looked at the most recent comments and people indicated that it worked. Probably best to wait for confirmation from Plugable though.

Is there a way this would work with a KVM switch adapter as well? I need 2 screens for work on my m1 MacBook pro and I want to use the same 2 screens for my personal PC by just pressing a button.

@Plugable 3 года назад

Thank you for reaching out! Plugable has not tested our products with a KVM switch, so functionality is not guaranteed. We recommend our UD-3900H + our USB3-SWITCH2 to allow switching between your MacBook and PC. If you have any questions about this, please feel free to reach out to support@plugable.com. Thanks,

@signyourname 2 года назад

Thank you for the video. Just one question. its this the best solution since it occupies both the USB C port (one for power, other one for the hub)? I use multiple external SSD drives with USB C cable. In that case i won't have any option but to use the USB 3 ports for those SSD with Adaptors which will limit the data transfer i guess. Any comment?

@Plugable 2 года назад

Hello, For macOS devices with only two connection ports, we typically recommend connecting the rest of your peripherals via USB 3.0 ports on the dock, but I understand that this is not ideal. Another option would be to use a Thunderbolt passthrough hub allow you to use your power connection on the second port, but still connect external devices. Thank you! -Ryoma

@Oneklickmedia 2 года назад

I have this problem now that is why I'm searching for a new hub. My current set up won't work cause I use external SSD, Display port for my 4k external. I can only use the DP+External SSD without power charging. Once battery is low, I would have to remove the DP to charge my MBPm1. I made the mistake and bought the hub that slide onto the side which only allow ONE USB C for charge and the SECOND for data transfer only. I am really pushing to get this one now!
