So daisy chaining will only work with thunderbolt enabled monitors, but splitting with a hub will work for typical displayport monitors. You can drive two 2560x1440p monitors via a hub using a single thunderbolt port. I personally have two 1080p monitors connected via displayport to a StartTech Thunderbolt 2 hub. If you've got Thunderbolt 3 then you can drive 2 4K monitors over a single thunderbolt port with a hub. | |

| Aug 8, 2017 at 13:13 | comment | added | Josh Doug | Yep, looks like Apple isn't interested in dealing with this in the near future, although it should be possible to support with a software/firmware update I think. A thunderbolt hub/splitter should do the job for now though. | |
| Aug 8, 2017 at 13:01 | comment | added | Radu Simionescu | trying just now to daisy chain 2 monitors with no success on a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015). I enabled 1.2 dp option for the monitors, but I still get a mirrored image. | |
