Can I connect more than 1 display to my 2022 M2 Macbook Pro 13"?

I have 2 identical monitors that both support HDMI in and Displayport. How can I use them both as an external display (NOT mirroring)? Can I hook one monitor up to each of my Thunderbolt ports with an adapter and it work? How come this computer can support a ridiculous singular 8k display but not 2 4k 60hz?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 14.0

"Display Support

Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display at millions of colors and:

  • One external display with up to 6K resolution at 60Hz"

The base M1 and M2 chips support only two displays (built-in and one external for laptops). It wasn't until the Pro and Max versions of the chips in the 2023 MacBook Pros that more than one external display was possible.

Hi evanakelly,


Here is information on How many displays can be connected to MacBook Pro depending on the processor you have. A 13 inch MacBook Pro with a M2 processor will support one external display with up to 6K resolution at 60Hz. Here are the specs on that: MacBook Pro (13-inch, M2, 2022) - Technical Specifications


Beyond this you may find a third-party solution that works better for you.


Take care.
