    For a Surface Laptop Studio (model 1964), these Microsoft docks support two external monitors:

    1. Surface Dock 2
      • Supports dual 4K at 60Hz with Surface Laptop Studio.
      • Surface Laptop Studio is explicitly listed among the devices supported for up to two displays on Surface Dock 2.
    2. Surface USB4 Dock
      • Supports two 4K monitors at 60Hz through USB-C or HDMI 2.1.
      • For dual 4K support, a device with USB4/Thunderbolt 4 is required.

    If the goal is simply to add 2 external monitors, either dock is suitable. If a newer dock is preferred with USB4/Thunderbolt 4 connectivity and HDMI 2.1, choose Surface USB4 Dock.

    Microsoft Surface Thunderbolt 4 Dock

    You would connect:

    Surface Laptop Studio 1964 → one Thunderbolt 4/USB-C cable → Dock

    Then:

    Dock → Monitor 1

    Dock → Monitor 2
