How to connect a MacBook to two monitors (or more...) for M1, M2 and M3 chips.

hey guys take a look at this I have here my MacBook Pro M2 working with three monitors and works pretty fine I'm using here this docking station this is from toin one and I have the HDMI and display ports connected here and then it works pretty good okay let me just show here the features that I have so basically here I can move a window from here to here to the left side back to the center I here have a different resolution for this monitor and then I can come to the right side back to the center and go down so it works pretty good if I come here to the assistant settings you can see my displays so basically here when I come to displays you see that I have different ones here okay and I have one here on the left then the buing display which is which is the Mac computer and even an HDMI splitter I'm testing my splitter here to see if it works and it works works pretty fine so when I come here to rrange I see here the monitor on the left side when I click here you see there that's working and here in the center the splitter just click here so you see that's working and here the right side and finally here the building display okay so it works pretty good I click here and let me just show as well that I have this software here that manages everything right this is the display link manager so you just need to download this from this uh the website it's free to download and usually what you have to do is just install the software and it pops up a message and just click here allow to connect and you're good to go and you're going to see your monitors here and I also click here launch automat automatically after loging then I just need to turn everything on and starts working uh one more important thing that I have to do here the instructions comes in the user menu of course but you need to come here to the system settings and here on the security Center and privacy security okay you just come here to locate this screen and system audio recording and here you enable for the display link manager okay as long as you do this it's going to work then you're going to have your software here that can see your external monitors and you're good to go right so let me talk more about the device here on the back you see my connections there we go I have display port and HDMI port you can use either HDMI or display port I have an HDMI here a display port here and another HDMI here so three monitors at the same time for Windows a little uh it's a little bit different and also here you have a 3.2 USB connection and here a DC Port connection for your power supply L Port so you can connect to your router and here a USBC Port that connects to my computer back there so basically here on the left side I have the connection for the USB port that's the only cable that connects to the device and then everything works here connected to the monitors okay so it's a pretty good setup and it Powers my device it charges my my PC here my MacBook Pro so I don't need to use this anymore okay this power supply I don't need to connect there because I just connect here to the docking station and I'm good to go here in the front you see that you have a USBC 3.0 input in here as well USB 3.2 regular USB usba a which is pretty fast in here SD cards lot and micro card lot as well here the LED and the power button okay so pretty nice design and if you have a card let's say for example you have a card like this you can just connect here to the device or if you have a micro SD card like a have one here you can also connect to this device here for example I don't have a lot for micr SD card I have just for SD cards so usually I was like using this one this adapter to put it here on my computer so I don't need this anymore because now I can just use my SD card and connect directly here to the docking station which I prefer because it's pretty fast works pretty well and you can also use USB pen drives for example I have this one which is pretty fast and I have here an option to connect via USB or USBC right so I can just connect it here and have it working there all right so here if I close the lead for example works pretty fine as well let's say I want to close it here and it rearranges and works back there let's say for example if I want work here with the finder and then you see that I don't have anything here I would just connect this card right so here I have the SD card I just put it here that way there we go and it's going to pop up there okay pretty fast so I click here and I have my card working here with my files it's the same here for this other device here the pen drive if I just connect here to the port which is pretty fast it just pops up there as well just wait a second and pops up here and I have my f right so it's pretty easy to use and also pretty fast and you have more information here as well in the user menu as you can see here that's the setup that I have here with three monitors 4K 4K 4K 60 HZ all right and working here with my M2 and I also have here the this display port 1.4 okay this works pretty fine okay and here I have more information about there we go a chart about the connections so basically you have HDMI One display port one two and three and works here with 60 htz and 4K okay single video output for example Here video output for Windows you can even use 8K 30 HZ for window okay with this chart here you have all the information if you want to pause the video and take a look here but works pretty fine for different devices different situations and it's pretty good okay so guys I've been using this for a while in testing I have other another one here from toin one as well a previous version here as you can see there a similar one here you have HDMI inut and display port in here and the new one has HDMI display port here as well in USB 3.2 here that's the difference uh for the new one right and here in the front you see as well that I have a difference here let just show both of them I have here the difference that here now instead of 2.0 here I have 3.2 okay so works pretty fine as you can see here I have more than one I trust this brand it's a good one I like it and I recommend it
