Daisy Chain Dell U2723QE + U2722DE with MacBook Pro M2

Hey, is it possible to Daisy Chain the monitors Dell U723QE + U2722DE with MacBook Pro M2 ? 

I have those monitors and I can't daisy chain them any help please ? I tried with both Display port and USBC cables and both didn't work (it only works if I connect each monitor to each thunderbolt port on my Mac)

I wouldn't count on it being possible to do USB-C daisy-chaining with any Mac.


In addition, if your M2 MacBook Pro is a 13" M2 MacBook Pro – the one that has two USB-C (Thunderbolt) ports and that uses the 'base' M2 chip – it only supports a single external monitor.


If it is a 14" or 16" model with a M2 Pro or M2 Max chip, then it might be able to drive two monitors from one port with the help of a Thunderbolt hub or dock.

CORRECT AS WRITTEN.


To use up to two display on one cable on a Mac, the output port, the cables, and the first device (Dock or display) must be genuine ThunderBolt.


One 4K display consumes nearly the entire bandwidth of a high-end USB-C cable. ThunderBolt has more data pathways, and is much more capable.
