Adapter required for use with 2 Screens ?

I use a Plugable DisplayLink adaptor, available on Amazon. Not too expensive, and I have managed to run 3 displays (2 with the adaptor, 1 with a USB C hub with HDMI), plus my iPad using Universal control

There are various DisplayLink-based products that will let you connect two displays to a M1/M2 MacBook Air or 13" M1/M2 MacBook Pro.

However, be aware that these products do not give you additional first-class hardware-supported video outputs.

The M2 MacBook Air only supports the use of 1 external display I am afraid

Thank you.

I would not recommend any adapter. The specifications for that model Mac states that it supports one external display. The quality of the externally connected displays will be deteriorated and of poor quality if additional displays are connected. Using adapters does not increase the support for external displays and the Mac will not generate additional video specs/functionality to support the additional displays.

The other option is one of the ultra-wide screen displays. They can have nearly the same screen real estate as two monitors.

FWIW, the Display Link route is basically a hack to how the Mac operates and any macOS update/upgrade could easily break that functionally and the set up will no longer work until the vendor of the Display Link software develops a fix.

Instead of using two 24” 1930x1080 monitors with an adapter, it might be better to use a single 27” 2560x1440 or 27”-32” 3840x2160 monitor (running in Retina “like 2560x1440” mode).
