Is it possible to use the new 2024 iPad Pro to simultaneously control two displays?
The specs page for the new iPad Pro M4 says "Supports one external display with up to 6K resolution at 60Hz"

Apple has not announced any changes to support for external displays. As such, until the new devices are with Customers, contributors here will merely be speculating.
Until Apple publish revised specifications, you would be best advised to assume that the new 2024 iPad's Pro and Air only support a single external monitor.
That is my assumption as well.
I was hoping somebody would say that there is a splitter that would allow the new iPad Pro to control two monitors - but I suspect the control needs to originate within the iPad.
External display support is indeed determined by the host device. To date, iPad models that support external displays, including those with M-series CPUs, can drive a single external display.
I'm also interesting in the support of the external displays. I own a LG ultrawide display with a resolution of 5120X1440 and would be nice to know if the new iPad Pro will support this. Looking for the first tests.
Existing M-series iPads support external monitors of "up-to" 5K resolution.
