I have 3 monitors and an macbook pro m1. When I connect 2 of those 3 monitors separately, it works ok no matter what monitor combination I use. When I connect all the 3 together, only 2 work. What could be the issue? I tried rebooting, unplugging etc.
Also I have a docking station. It doesn't help if I use the docking station for 2 of the monitors or not.
On latest macos.
MacBook Pro 14″
What is the exact model and year of your M1 MacBook Pro? Only the M1 Max version supports three external displays.

Oh ok thanks, yes I was looking at those specs yesterday but didn't notice the M1 Max for the 3 displays. I got the M1 Pro. I would think £1800 would buy you support for 3 monitors but apple marketing says no. Anyway thanks again for clarifying.
out of my 3 monitors only 2 work at the same time
