M1 Pro macbook pro 4k 240hz OLED?

I'm interested in this ALIENWARE 32 4K QD-OLED GAMING MONITOR - AW3225QF monitor. I wonder if my m1 pro macbook pro support 4k 240hz with the included macbook thunderbolt port?

Higher than 4K at 120 Hz is not attainable using ONE DisplayPort or Thunderbolt Port. Data rates are just too high.

MacBook Pro M1 from before 2023 features only HDMI 2.0, good for up to 4K at 60 Hz, not higher.


MacBook Pro M2 from 2023 onward features support for DIRECT HDMI 2.1, good for 4K at up to 240 Hz (but NO adapters).


Two cable solutions can be used to split the display onto two cables, then re-assemble the two half-displays into one coherent picture using Picture-By-Picture feature in advanced displays.
