You are in the Mac mini section. The M1 chip supports two displays. On the M1 Mac mini, one is via HDMI, the other via Thunderbolt/USB-C. On the M1 laptops, one is the internal display, so there can be only one external display.

"One external display with up to 6K resolution at 60Hz"

OWC has an adapter available. I used it with 2 - 24" led cinema displays w/mini-displayport cables connected to my MacBookPro 2016 mojave and it worked fine until I tried to use the two monitors with the MBP closed at which point the color profile for the LCD was used on the first external monitor. I was unable to profile the first monitor when the MBP was closed although the device worked as expected when the computer was open. The output is for DisplayPort so I purchased two displayport to mini-displayport adapters on amazon. This may have been an OS issue that may have been fixed in a newer release as opposed to a hardware problem but I cannot say for sure. OWC (.com) is always helpful and will insure it works or refund your purchase.

I purchased the Caldigit thunderbolt mini to allow me to use two monitors with my MacBook Pro MI. Only one monitor is showing up and the resolution is blurred.


I purchased the Caldigit from the Apple site thinking that this would work, as it was being sold by Apple, after having purchased a Saferell that also only let me connect one monitor. At least the Saferell gives me a clear resolution with no blurring but I cannot get the other monitor to connect
