Hi!

I bought the Kensington SD5700T hoping that I would easily be able to connect two external monitors to my Macbook Pro M2 laptop. I then realised that my docking station only supports one external monitors:

"# of Monitors Supported: 2 (M1/M2 Base Chipset MacBook or USB-C Alt Mode laptop supports only a single external display)"

Both my monitors are connected through Displayports to USB-C as of now, but I'm wondering if it would work if I connected one of the screen through HDMI to USB-A?

Equipment:
Macbook Pro, 13-inch, M2, 2022
Kensington SD5700T
External monitor: Dell U2419H - UltraSharp 24 Monitor

Sofware:
DisplayLink Manager 1.10.0

Any help on this will be much appreciated!

Unfortunately your docking station does not support DisplayLink.

Your would need to purchase a device that has the DisplayLink hardware built in.

See the list below..

I personally use the Alogic DX3 with my M2 MacBook Air. I have three displays running and this is a great all round dock.
