How to connect two monitors to a MacBook through one port?

Question

Monitors

Actually there is a 2017 MacBook 13 Pro with two Thunderbolt ports. I bought a docking station with two HDMI ports on Ali in the hope that I could connect two identical FullHD monitors through 1 Thunderbolt port.

Unfortunately, the monitors work in mirror mode (they show the same picture). For the sake of interest, I put Windows on the MacBook and, oddly enough, in Windows this docking station can connect 2 monitors through 1 port. Hence the problem in macOS.

Has anyone found a solution for this problem? Now I use two adapters (one monitor - one Thunderbolt port).

Answer 1

I would venture to suggest that one port does not draw the stream (the 3rd one has a very specific limit, as far as I understand, it will not pull two of 5k each), which is needed for two displays with a given resolution. Unless, of course, you set the table extension in the display settings, and not reflection. Try choosing a lower resolution. On Windows, the resolution is already lower, which is why it starts right away. What kind of thunderbolt, what displays and what you see in the settings you have not described, therefore only guesswork.
