Need Help Connecting MacBook Air M4 to Dual Monitors

I just bought a MacBook Air M4, and I’m absolutely loving it so far! However, I’m struggling to connect it to my dual monitors.


I have two LG 27GN800-B monitors (each with 2x HDMI + 1x DP port). Right now, both monitors are connected to my Windows PC via DisplayPort. Now, I want to connect my MacBook Air M4 to both of them separately (not mirrored), but it’s turning out to be more complicated than I expected.


From what I’ve read, I’ll need a Thunderbolt 4 dock with 2 HDMI ports to make this work, but they’re crazy expensive in India (or in general).


I found a Lenovo Thunderbolt 3 Gen 2 Docking Station that has 2 HDMI ports for a much more reasonable price, but I’m not sure if it will allow both monitors to function as separate displays or if it will just mirror the same display on both screens.


Has anyone tried this setup, or does anyone know if this dock will work? If not, are there any cheaper alternatives to get dual external displays on the MacBook Air M4?

MacBook Air 15″, macOS 15.3

Getting Dual External Displays:

The J5 USB-C Dual HDMI Docking Station allows for more two extra monitors to be expanded or mirrored. It works just fine for me.
