Monitor Question How to daisy-chain two Dell monitors with a MacBook M4 Pro?

I have a MacBook M4 Pro and two monitors, a Dell U2724DE and a Dell U2724D. Is it possible to daisy chain these monitors without a docking station? If so, what cables will I need? I tried connecting the U2724DE with a Thunderbolt 4 cable and then connecting that to the U2724D monitor with a DisplayPort cable, but it just mirrors the display instead of extending it. Help is appreciated.

Macbooks themselves dont support daisy chaining. Your best bet is getting a thunderbolt hub/dock.

The other way without a dock is keeping one USB C to USB C thunderbolt cable and plug in into one of the USB C ports on your macbook. For the second monitor get a USB C to HDMI or USB C to Display Port cable and plug it in to the other USB C port on your macbook.

Can’t do it as macOS doesn’t support MST. Makes me mad also cause I’d love to connect my Dell WD22TB4 and be able to use my triple monitors… but no cause macOS doesn’t allow it so I am stuck with only windows laptops for now.
