Hi there, Darry. Thank you for your question about the LG 27SR73U-W Smart Monitor. We understand how helpful it can be to set up multiple monitors for your workspace. You can connect two of these monitors to your device, but they do not have a built-in daisy-chaining feature for directly linking the monitors together. Instead, you would connect each monitor separately via HDMI or USB-C to your device, allowing them to function as extended displays. As for connecting a Magic Mouse and Magic Keyboard, these devices would pair with the computer or device you're using, not directly with the monitors themselves. If you are using macOS or another compatible system, the mouse and keyboard can be used across both monitors, as the system will recognize both screens as part of the same setup. Additionally, if your setup supports Bluetooth, you can use AirPlay 2 or screen sharing features to stream content to the monitors, but Bluetooth connectivity for peripherals is still tied to your computer or device. https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-27sr73u-w-smart-monitor#pdp_specs If you need more assistance or have any other questions, feel free to reach out to us on social media at @LGUSSupport.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.While this monitor does work well (with an M4 Mac Mini) in pairs, There are a couple of caveats to this: 1) there does not seem to be a way to differentiate when you have 2 of these monitors when it comes to the remote control. So what you do with the remote will affect both monitors simultaneously. This means you will have to get comfortable using the “local” buttons hidden under the center of the monitor 2) the M4 Mac Mini only has 1 HDMI port. We tried connecting the monitor using one of the USB-C ports on the monitor to either one of the TBolt or one of the USB-C ports on the Mini without success. Ultimately what we had to do was either get a port extender/replicator to convert the HDMI cable from the 2nd monitor to a USB-C form factor that would fit into the TBolt port on the Mini. This worked well. A better (more stable) solution would probably be to get a converter cable with an HDMI male on one end and a USB-C/Tbolt male connector on the other. …otherwise, the picture/resolution is one of the best non-Apple monitors I have seen, especially for the price. It is one of the few I can use (other than the gorgeous but hideously pricey Apple displays) without getting a headache. My only real beef with this at this point is that the monitor starts/boots into TV mode and you have to switch the inputs to the Monitor. I am sure there is a solution to this, but I have not had the time to research it yet.
