If your laptop has USB-C it most likely already has DP out.

For some reason I always miss this. I checked in software and at least arandr says I have 4 DP Outs. Presumably 2 per USB-C port? I don't know how this actually works.

I think past thunderbolt 4 you get 2 displays daisy chained off of one port. I have a thunderbolt 5 port and I run 2 4k monitors off of it

Thanks! I'm gonna try and find a USB-to-DP cat'o'tails I can buy for cheap to see what happens.
