Dual Studio Displays Docking Station

I have purchased the new Macbook Pro M4 Max laptop. I am considering buying 2 Studio Displays. Is there a docking station recommended that I can connected the Thunderbolt cables to that will only use 1 port on the laptop.

Or is there a recommendation on the best way to do this?

Um, NO.


The bandwidth required (around 5K) for ONE studio display effectively consumes an entire Thunderbolt-4 interface, all by itself. There is no additional bandwidth for ANY other high speed devices on that same cable.


Thunderbolt-5 Docks, when they become available, may change that situation. At this writing I do not consider ThunderBolt-5 devices to be generally available.
