I have a MacBook Pro 13" m1 machine. I want to connect a cintiq 24' pen display and an external monitor. How can I and/or can I even connect both?

MacBook Pro (M1, 2020)

Is this the Cintiq tablet in question?

If so, it expects to see the same type of hardware input as a standalone monitor (USB-C (DisplayPort), DisplayPort, or HDMI), and it would count against your Mac's limit of one external display.


If you wanted to attach another display, you would have to do it using a second-class workaround that might involve serious compromises. There is no software, hub, dock, or adapter that you can add to your Mac that would give the Mac more first-class, hardware-supported display outputs.

The 13" M1 MacBook Pro only supports one external display.


f the Cintiq tablet wants to drive its display off native hardware output, you won't be able to use it at the same time that you have another monitor connected in a first-class, hardware-supported way.


If the Cintiq tablet uses software means (like connecting a Mac and iPad using Sidecar does), then the tablet would not count against your Mac's limit of one external display.
