I'm getting an M1 MacBook Air for work and would like to make it work with my existing 5120x1440 Samsung CRG9 ultrawide monitor.. Any idea what the best dock would be and if I could ever get that resolution with Display port/HDMI? :) Thanks in advance :)
 
Thanks to this cool youtube video I found
I got a cable that gives me full 5120 x 1440 @120Hz and I have to say, having spent the last 25 years using windows for work, working on a Mac with M1, even the cheapest one available (thanks startup finance guy;)) is a game changer. And using a monitor this big even more so! I have >8 things open (safari with 8 tabs, outlook, teams, notes, notability, some spreadsheets, messages, facetime and I'm watching the latest picard on the prime video app) and nothing is slowing down! I also got a 12 ⬇️ Arc stand and a CallDigit T4 Element hub for expandability. I know this doesn't have Thunderbolt 4 but I may not have this laptop forever. :)
