While nearly all points of M1 Mac efficiency are enormously improved in comparison with the Intel Mac predecessors, one notable draw back has been lowered assist for external shows. In what seems like some thrilling information, it seems Apple could also be underselling the M1 Mac external display performance.
Apple says in its tech specs the M1 MacEbook Air and 13-inch MacEbook solely assist as much as 1 external display as much as 6K at 60Hz. And the Mac mini as much as 1 6K at 60Hz over USB-C/Thunerbolt and 1 display as much as 4K at 60Hz over HDMI.
However, similar to we’ve seen up to now when Mac compatibility with Apple’s Pro Display XDR was discovered to be broader than Apple says, it seems that M1 Macs can certainly run as much as 6 external shows with good efficiency… at the least in early testing.
YouTuber Ruslan Tulupov has shared two movies demonstrating the workaround he found (through MacRumors).
The workaround isn’t too difficult and entails downloading the DisplayHyperlink software program for macOS (Tulupov says works wonderful with Big Sur) and selecting up a 4K DisplayPort to USB 3.zero adapter (and/or HDMI adapter).
Depending on what number of shows you wish to run with this trick, you may want a USB-C to USB-A 3.zero adapter or a Thunderbolt or USB-C dock in addition to extra cables, and so forth.
You can try an in depth walkthrough of the setup within the movies beneath. Interestingly sufficient, he says the M1 Mac mini and MacEbook Air he examined carried out “awesome” total below a heavy load taking part in YouTube movies and the best decision obtainable and even utilizing Final Cut Pro with out dropping hardly any frames.
With his workaround, he exhibits the Mac mini operating as much as 6 shows and the MacEbook Air operating 5 external shows. Also notable, he says he didn’t even see the Mac mini fan kick up throughout his testing. In the examples beneath, not each display was operating at 4K, however the workaround nonetheless seems very spectacular.
Check out the complete movies beneath for precisely how he configured these setups. The second video features a Q&A piece.
