ipad pro 5th gen external monitors

The current models of iPad Pro support connection of one external monitor via USB-C (using DP or HDMI Alt Mode) or a an appropriate HDMI or VGA Adapter. That said, for these models of iPad, iPadOS17 also supports simultaneous mirroring of the iPad Pro screen to an AppleTV or compatible Smart TV using AirPlay.

As such, using both a direct wired connection to an external monitor and AirPlay, it is possible to use two external displays. However, you must recognise that when using this arrangement, AirPlay can only mirror the iPad display; effectively, you still have only two displays.

Hi, Is there an option to use 2 external displays with a Thunderbolt and Apple’s Stage Manager?

I have one external display working as an ‘Extended Desktop’ off a DP port, working really well.

I have connected the 2nd monitor the the 2nd DP port, however it’s just a mirror of the 1st External Display.

Keyboard and mouse also working really well of a USB key plugged into the Thunderbolt.

Thanks

iPad devices can support connection of a single (not dual) external monitor. For iPad, M-series CPUs support up to 6K resolution @60Hz.

no, you can't connect 2 monitors to ipads

Tried using the Airplay to screen my M1 Chip iPad Pro, but due to the wireless connection, I felt a bit laggy here and could not properly use it as my work monitor.

Please kindly share your experiences on using ScreenMirror for work or school!
