Has anyone tried triple / quad monitor setups with the M1 Max?

Yep have got 3 LG Ultrafines 4K attached via thunderbolt (two daisy chained) and a fourth Huawei Mateview 4K attached via USB-c to the macs third TB port and all works flawlessly with no fan noise.
16" Pro Max 10 Core CPU, 32 Core GPU, 32GB RAM. (its the stock 16" Max model). Forgot to mentioned I am using the internal display as well, so five screen in total running natively with no real heat or fan noise. Im not doing graphics intensive work though.
For people using triple monitors how are you generally hooking them all up?
I'm looking to pick up an 14" M1 Max 24gpu (over the M1 Pro) to get the triple monitor support, but there doesnt seem to be too much discussion about people using 3 or more monitors.

How do you like that Huawei MateView? How does it compare to the LG 4k? Better/equal/worse?
Thank you ?
Someone use dual Mateview 28 with MacBook Pro max?
do you know if I can connected to a hub tb3 (like cal digit) that support dual monitor 4K 60 hz, or the Mateview is in real more than 4k (in fact is more of UHD, it's 3840 x 2560px).. what do you think? one or both run worst? Or it's ok because I will use them at the half resolution for retina rules? tnx!!!
I'd like to live the other 2 ports tb4 free for my ssd disk (I do editing video mainly)

I have 2 XDR displays and no fan issues. Considering a 3rd xdr pro display.
I would say brightness is very slightly dimmer and picture quality is very slightly worse, however the extra real estate at the bottom of the screen outweighs the loss in quality for me and I have decided to sell one of the LG ultrafines and replaced it with a second Huawei Mateview, so now have 2 Mateviews to left and centre and 2 LG 4K ultrafines on a vertical VESA Mount to the right. Also the Mateview design looks way nicer than the LG in my opinion.

This is the main issue with the xdr. I use 1. If I got 2 xdr I would have to get 3. So there is a center monitor.
Caldigit TB4 element hub,
+ M1 max 16´´
I use it with 2 monitor (mateview Huawei) at @60 hz, at full résolution (more Than 4K) in hrd (also) connected through usb c
