M1 13" Macbook, 2 Dell 27" Monitors, Dell D6000, and lots of confusion

[mhortsc]

I can't figure out what I need to do. I've read all the similar posts and am more confused lol

One monitor only accepts HDMI, the other higher end accepts all formats.

I have the lower end going from HDMI to a USB-C adapter into a port. And the higher end going HDMI into the D6000 into a port.

The higher end looks awesome.

The lower end looks like crap. The highest res, everything is too large and blurry. There is a higher res option that is way too small and low res.

At a total loss for how I should be running everything.

Help is so greatly appreciated, let me know what additional info is needed.

Try using both monitors connected to the D6000 if you can and see if that makes a difference. At present your driving one monitor with displaylink and one monitor natively from the Mac. The one directly off the MAC should be better resolution options than the one on displaylink.

Interestingly the monitor connected to the D6000 gives the best performance. The other monitor is hdmi > satechi hub. I wonder if that’s dumbing down my resolution options
