NEC monitors are not supported on Macs with M1 chip

I have a MacBook Air M1 and I want to connect one of my NEC monitors - PA271Q or EA271U. They work fine with one exception. They don't communicate with the NEC software installed. Neither Multiprifiler or Spectraview II. It leads to a huge problem with calibrating those displays. Software responds: "No supported display NEC monitors were detected". Both monitors work great along with Intel iMac running Catalina.

Please help. I can't do my job with the new M1 Mac!

NEC answears:

"Mac OS Compatibility Information

The new M1 based MacBook and Mac mini are not yet compatible with SpectraView as of macOS 11.1. The software is unable to detect any connected NEC displays. Apple is aware of this issue and it is expected to be resolved in a future macOS update. Please check for system updates when available. SpectraView is compatible with other non-M1 Macs running macOS 11."
