Can I connect two 2K monitors to my MacBook Pro M1 ?

I presently have two 1080p 24" monitors connected to my M1 pro and it works like a charm.

But I believe I have outgrown this and want to remove my 24" monitors and replace them with two 27" monitors.

I have option of choosing 1080p or 2K resolution. Wanted to check with the community here if my laptop would support both 2K monitors at the same time.

1 monitor will be connected directly from MacBook

second monitor will be connected via USB C hub.

Thanks in advance for your response :-)

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 13.2

As the article Ingo2711 cites, you can connect up to two displays as large as 6K on separate cables to your Mac. Top resolution if you choose to use the HDMI port is somewhat more limited, but 4K is achievable with the right cables.
