Hello All,
Need guidance in daisy chain 2 monitors with macbook. Need to extend the displays to 2 external monitors with one cable.
One Monitor is HP Docking monitor E24M and the other is a Non-dock 24 inch HP monitor.
The display can be seen on the external displays, however, one of them is mirrored.
Need it to be extended to both the external screens.
Please suggest
I could be wrong, but I don't think any Macs support DisplayPort or USB-C (DisplayPort) daisy-chaining. Daisy-chaining is a possibility in the standards, but I don't think that means that every implementation supports it.
Macs which support multiple external displays and that have Thunderbolt 3/4 ports will often let you daisy-chain two Thunderbolt monitors, typically with the limit that both monitors must have 4K resolution or less. But there are few monitors that take Thunderbolt input. (Most monitors with USB-C video inputs take USB-C (DisplayPort) input, not Thunderbolt input.)
Other World Computing has some Thunderbolt hubs and docks that can split one Thunderbolt chain into three – and with one of those, you may be able to hook two USB-C (DisplayPort) monitors to separate downstream ports (provided that your Mac supports multiple displays). (If that sounds like something that would be useful, I would suggest contacting Other World Computing and verifying that their product has this capability. My impression is based on skimming the online manual while answering a question that someone else asked in these forums.)
