Multiple monitors for new MacBook?

The website that I am directed to from my Mac concerning multiple monitors does not work. Too many redirects. How might I work around this issue?

Assuming (and we are bad at assuming!) you have the latest Apple Silicon M1 MacBook Pro. its specs say it supports one external monitor:


https://support.apple.com/kb/SP824?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US


Intel MacBook Pros can support up to two depending on the size and resolution on the external monitor.


You can find that information for every MacBook Pro with this Apple support search page:


https://support.apple.com/en_US/specs/macbookpro


Every tech spec sheet there has a section father down that shows how many and what kind of external monitors are supported, like this:



You can change the search string to research MacBooks and MacBook Air models.

What website is that?

What model computer? You've posted in the MacBook Pro community but you refer to a MacBook and a Mac.

Tell us what computer and we'll direct you to the correct specs page.

Assuming it is a MacBook Pro: https://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/?afid=p238%7CsX0jZmxPj-dc_mtid_1870765e38482_pcrid_504250085914_pgrid_111487297858_&cid=aos-us-kwgo-mac--slid---product-
