You can stretch a window across multiple monitors if you uncheck “displays have separate spaces” in mission control settings. It fixes most of the problems in this post.
I run five monitors at 4k 60Hz every day with my max spec mbp. Four are portrait and two are landscape. (One portrait is DisplayLink usb) I actually have six monitors. One is split with an active HDMI splitter.
I definitely have trouble sometimes but the M1 is actually a lot better than the intel mbp because changes to settings are near instant.
Most of the time it just works.
Tricks I’ve learned:
1. Always plug the monitors in the same ports.
2. Lock the screen, then unplug monitors to keep your windows arranged.
3. I use SwitchResX to save and restore my monitor positions. Its not 100% reliable but it gets things mostly arranged and a few rotation tweaks in settings gets everything fixed.
4. It helps to have monitors of distinct models. When I have multiple of the same model and those are the ones that have problems getting rotation swapped.
