Daisy chaining means connecting multiple monitors in a series using one video cable from one monitor to another monitor, rather than connecting each monitor directly to the computer.

With DisplayPort, USB-C with DisplayPort alternate mode, or Thunderbolt daisy chaining, you can enjoy the flexibility of having multiple displays while keeping cables to a minimum. You can duplicate or extend the monitors dedicated to a different task or application.

There are three types of ports that allow you to daisy chain monitors - DisplayPort with Multi-Stream Transport (MST), USB-C with DisplayPort alternate mode, and Thunderbolt Multi-Stream Transport (MST).

NOTE: Daisy chaining is not supported over HDMI or with a USB-C port that does not support DisplayPort alternate mode or Thunderbolt (version 3 or higher).
