Is that because the screen generation is software based? I noticed that when using display link and couldn’t bare the input lag or worse the compression from moving a window too rapidly. Switched to a monitor with thunderbolt output and my coworkers thought I was being a diva.
My understand is that yes, the external displays are both rendered by the CPU and so there are lower frame rates and frames dropped which is a concern of mine since I am pushing this computer to its limits with some applications I run. I've heard that for casual use it isn't too noticeable.
Unfortunately I don't think the M1 Air supports TB daisy chaining unless you're ok with mirrored displays. I still can't decide if I want to ask my job for a new computer, a new dock, or new displays lol.
macOS doesn't support daisy chaining, and never has. You can't use daisy chaining with any Mac. It's weird, it's stupid, but it's true. That's the sole reason the dock market is so complicated.
Yeah, it's definitely not as good as native, but it's not bad. One other significant restriction for DisplayLink is that it's unable to display DRMed video content.
