Apple have always said 2. Where are you getting 3?
Because of how they phrase the stats on the specs page. For the Max they call out the HDMI as an extra monitor, for the M1pro they do not. Which to me leads me to believe the HDMI counts as a 3rd external.Apple have always said 2. Where are you getting 3?
Someone try and connect 2, 1080p monitors through thunderbolt and 1, 1080p monitor through HDMI (for 3 total) and let us know if it worksSo... in the end... has it been proved that the M1 Pro supports 3 external displays? Thanks!
No you can’t - stop spreading falsehoods. Not one adapter exists that actually functions - I try them all.You can go from TB4 to HDMI if you need 2.1 support.
No, I tried. I just got my new MBP 16" M1Pro. It only support 2 screens.
Even my old 2016 MBP 15" can support 4 screens, but this one only support 2.
I tried all the three USB-C ports and HDMI ports, but only the first 2 can be light up.
I can't believe this new powerful laptop going backwards.![]()
No need to be snippy.The ad copy on Apple's website specifically says:
"Connect up to three Pro Display XDRs and a 4K TV with M1 Max. Or connect up to two Pro Display XDRs with M1 Pro."
Not sure when quoting text from a web page became snippy.No need to be snippy.
My Late-2013 MBP also said only up to 2 external displays, and I can connect three external displays. 2, 2560x1600 through the mini DP and 1, 1920x1080 through the HDMI while still having the 2880x1800 internal display on.
It's not out of the realm of possibility to want confirmation that the new ones couldn't do that as well with similar marketing descriptions.

I think it was the added “specifically says.”Not sure when quoting text from a web page became snippy.
And the implied "why are people even asking" when the website specifically says it doesn't.I think it was the added “specifically says.”
It says "Attention:it ONLY supports MIRROR MODE on Apple Mac OS system which is limited by Mac itself."Would this affordable Totu usb-c hub work for a 2022 Macbook Pro w/M1 Max? I'm hoping to extend to two external HDMI monitors and not spend hundreds of dollars. I've seen both "**Macs do not support dual displays over USB-C**" but also products like these that market that exactly, dual extended displays for Macs over USB-C - https://www.hypershop.com/products/hyperdrive-dual-4k-hdmi-10-in-1-usb-c-hub
