Which adapter to use for a dual screen display for MacBook Air M2

I am currently using a Display port for a 2K screen - However I would like to add a second screen but have become aware that the M2 only supports a single screen.

Any suggestions for a suitable Adapter welcome. Thanks


MacBook Air, macOS 13.6

The M2 Macs support one external display. Adapters do not increase the number of external displays supported.
