DisplayLink Dual DisplayPort Adapter for M Series Mac and Other Mac, Windows, Ubuntu, and Chromebook Computers
Apple® M series Mac® computers offer outstanding overall performance but have a limit to the number of external displays you can connect to them. If you’re using an M1/M2 MacBook Air®, M1/M2 13-inch MacBook Pro®, or M3 14-inch MacBook Pro that number is one. Featuring DisplayLink technology, the Sonnet DisplayLink™ Dual DisplayPort Adapter for M Series Macs beats the limit, enabling you to connect two 4K @ 60Hz or two 1440p @ 144Hz DisplayPort displays to a single port on your computer.
Efficiency Booster – Expand Your Applications Workspace
Perfect for use with productivity software such as Microsoft® Office, this Sonnet adapter enables you to work more efficiently by expanding your workspace. Whether you need to open multiple applications on their own screens, edit code or view a spreadsheet in detail on a large display, or mirror your notebook’s display on a larger monitor, the Sonnet DisplayLink Dual DisplayPort Adapter for M1 Macs makes it possible.
Go Full Screen – Browse the Web, Watch Videos
Even when you’re not using productivity software, your notebook’s screen can constrain your view. Go big—the Sonnet DisplayLink Dual DisplayPort Adapter for M1 Macs enables you to connect your computer to your large monitor or big screen TV to browse the web and watch videos on YouTube and other content(1) at a distance.

Not Just for 4K Displays – Supports Full HD (1080p) Displays and Audio Out
While the Sonnet DisplayLink Dual DisplayPort Adapter for M1 Macs supports two monitors at up to 4K resolutions (3840 x 2160), you can also use it to connect monitors with lower resolutions, like full HD 1080p (1920 x1080) @ 60Hz—this makes it great for use for different home and work applications. Because audio support is built into the Sonnet adapter, you don’t have to plug in a separate cable to hear sound from connected displays.
Designed for M1 Macs and Supports Intel®-based Mac or Windows Computers
Sonnet's DisplayLink Dual DisplayPort Adapter is ideal for M1 Macs, and Intel®-based Mac or Windows computers with USB 3 or USB-C interfaces. Although the adapter is compatible with all Macs running macOS 10.15+, and all PCs running Windows 11 or 10, Sonnet recommends Sonnet's Thunderbolt Dual DisplayPort Adapter for Mac or Windows computers with Thunderbolt 4 or 3 interfaces.

On a Mac, how do I play protected streaming video, such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, etc.?
Whenever a DisplayLink Adapter is connected to a Mac computer, macOS Digital Rights Management protection software prevents Apple’s TV app from showing any video content. Streaming content, such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, etc, can instead be viewed using the Google Chrome browser. To watch protected streaming video, you need to configure and use the Chrome browser as follows…
1. Go to Chrome Settings.
2. Search for “hardware” .
3. Disable “Use hardware acceleration when available”
4. Restart Chrome.
