      @bonemap I have used both a DP TH2G and a DE one on my M1 MacBook - the DP one definitely works better. Also, the Matrox Powerdesk software absolutely works on M1- I'm currently running it on 12.3.1 Monterey without issue.

      I've had best success with a direct USB-C to full DisplayPort cable, it does not like some adapters - and the USB cable needs to run through a powered hub.

        Great info, thanks I will have another look at the Powerdesk utility, although I thought I had attempted to install the latest version without success. The USB-C to Display Port adaptors are going on my shopping list.

        Best wishes

          @bonemap I'm running 1.04.07.001, not sure if there's the latest version or not - I remember having to hunt for a working version I think? It was a while back I was looking at it.

            Hey! 

            I have a M1 14',  two Triple head digital edition, and trying to make them work...

            @timkelly how do you managed to make Powerdesk work? Like you, I'm running Monterey, but when I click on it, I have a message saying that the app need to be updated... 

            Thanks!!

               Have you tried running the app in Rosetta Mode?
              (open 'get info' on the application, then check 'open using Rosetta', close the 'get info' dialog and open the application)

                  Ok thank you guys for your help!

                  I managed to make Powerdesk work. It was not possible for me to run it with Rosetta: When I click "get info", I don't have that choice, whereas I have it with other apps like Safari. For the moment I juste have an image using the output 1 of my TH2G, and Powerdesk doesn't want to detect any of my monitors... I contacted Matrox to know what is happening..

                      I know that @mark recently was successful using one TripleHead2Go DP Edition with an M1 Mac laptop. I know this because I lent him the TripleHead and then worked on the project doing the lighting. You may run into issues if you try to use more than one TH2G at the same time.

                        @woland thanks. I'm using one TH2G on M1 Max working well on a daily project for the last month. I'm getting one more an i'll test with two at the same time. Which kind of specific issues may happen? Thanks again!
