I was playing around wirh the Tab S8 Ultra with the keyboard cover and accidentally stumbled across this little bugger: Having an external monitor connected to the tablet while the keyboard is attached will kick the tablet out of DeX mode and only run DeX on the external monitor. 
This is only a minor inconvience as of now since the Tab S8 Ultra already has a 14 inch screen, and I believe that DeX is not supporting dual screen as of this moment. However, this would be a nice trick in the sleeve for the Tab series since it will allow a full desktop enviroment to span across the entire work area.

Way back from 2022, but is there a solution or update?

Still no...  Keep commenting that you want it though.  So Samsung can wake up and smell the coffee.  It isn't a hardware limitation, it is simply programming (not that the programming would be simple, but that it is only software limiting them).

For me, if I could have dual external monitor support (extended mode), I could almost use my phone as a PC replacement.  Whether I'm home or at the office, everywhere seems to be standardizing on usb-c docking station with dual monitors.  That means I could just carry my phone and plug it in when I need a full computer.
