Connect Two 4K HDMI Displays Using Only One Port on Your M1 or M2 Mac
DisplayLink Dual HDMI Adapter for M1 or M2 Macs and Other Mac/Windows Computers
Apple® M1 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 MacBook Air® or MacBook Pro®, that number is one. Featuring DisplayLink technology, Sonnet’s DisplayLink™ Dual HDMI Adapter for M1 Macs beats the limit, enabling you to connect two 4K (3840 x 2160) @ 60Hz HDMI 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 HDMI 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 HDMI 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 HDMI 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 HDMI 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 HDMI Adapter for Mac or Windows computers with Thunderbolt 4 or 3 interfaces.
The Sonnet DisplayLink Dual HDMI Adapter for M Series Macs is compatible with most computers with USB 3 or USB-C interfaces but was designed for M1/M2 MacBook Air, M1/M2 13-inch MacBook Pro, and M3 14-inch MacBook Pro computers, and other computers incapable of natively supporting more than one external display.
