Will it be possible to daisy-chain a DisplayPort monitor to the new Studio Displays? If so, I presume via a Thunderbolt to DisplayPort cable or some sort of adapter? I have a Dell S2725DS I'd like to daisy-chain to the new Studio Display (once it ships) and an M4 MacBook Air. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. From the sounds of it, it doesn't appear possible to run the SD2 (at 60Hz) and a second monitor from the MacBook Air at all?
You should be able to run both monitors from a
(The M1 and M2 MacBook Airs only support one external display, and the Studio Display 2 has compatibility requirements that would keep it from working with any Intel-based MacBook Air.)
However, because of the bandwidth requirements of the Studio Display 2, you will need to connect your two monitors via different host ports. E.g.,
MacBook Air
USB-C port 1 ------ Studio Display 2
USB-C port 2 ------ [Optional] dock/hub ------ Dell S2727DS
The first connection would be a Thunderbolt one, whereas the second one might not involve Thunderbolt at all.

if you have a MacBook Pro who tech specs include this line:
...then there is enough bandwidth to daisy-chain on one cable.
Remember that the second device should be a genuine Thunderbolt device (there are not enough reports of good luck daisy-chaining USB-C devices. Support may have issues and NOT guaranteed). Ordinary ThunderBolt cables for displays are limited to 0.5 meters maximum length, unless they are super-engineered, such as Apple ThunderBolt PRO cables.
I see. Thank you. Yes, the MacBook Pro’s specs do state Thunderbolt 5, but my 4K monitor is Dell U2720Q, which from what I can see is not a Thunderbolt Display. So I guess the possibility of the daisy chain support is just 50/50. :(
that Dell U2720Q appears to be a 4K at up to 10 bits/color and refresh rates 24 to 75 Hz
interfaces include
USB-C
HDMI 2.0
DisplayPort 1.4
Can I daisy-chain a DisplayPort monitor to the new Studio Display via Thunderbolt?
