Hi

I currently have a M2 Max Macbook Pro.
I have 2 studio displays and want to add a third.
I think the laptop can run these by just connecting them up however I was looking at a dock system that I could plug the 3 cables into and then just one to my laptop, does anyone know of a solution that can do this?

I'm not aware of any solution for three displays, but the Caldigit Thunderbolt Station 4 can drive two displays over a single connection.
Correct. I have a Caldigit TS4 and two ASDs connected to it without trouble. But will only support two — Thunderbolt doesn’t have enough bandwidth to do three.

OP will need to plug the third display in to a separate TB4 port on his MBP. No way around this.

Thanks, this post is helpful. Those with the TS4, you happy with it, or think you should have gone for something else? I too am looking to use the 3 x ASD's, sadly went into two shops yesterday and had none in stock and won't be for a while. Can buy through apple, but makes me think something new is coming.

Very happy with mine. I had an OWC before that but the Ethernet on it would drop out frequently and it was lacking in USB-C ports. TS4 has been rock solid.
