We also have an M1 Pro in the house ... you're not a unicorn - both the M1 Max and Pro explicitly support multiple external monitors. the base M1 laptop model that was released only supports one internal and one external. if I close the lid of the laptop, I can only use one monitor even with two cables.

I find the displaylink adapter works extremely well as a workaround here.

But sadly 4K is still not properly supported on M1 macs!

Full 4K modes lose bits making it unusable for many things.

And scaled modes are not true hiDPI modes!

So QHD looks very pixelated on a 4K display!
