Hello,
I am trying to extend the display for my MacBook M4 Pro to 2 external monitors connected via Dell docking station. I can see the monitors extending as single display, How do I make these 2 monitor into 2 separate displays and work with lid closed.
Thanks
Sam
Macs do not support DisplayPort MST daisy-chaining or its equivalent. So, in general,
USB-A is not designed to support video, period.
If you have a Dell Thunderbolt dock that can drive three or more monitors on a PC, you may find that there are only certain combinations of two outputs that will work properly with a Mac. If you use the wrong combination of ports, you will, in effect, be driving two monitors off a single signal from the Mac, and will be unable to get your monitors to work in extended desktop mode.

I recently purchased Apple MacBook M4 Pro and would like to extend the display to 2 monitors
