Connecting Multiple Displays to Your Mac Mini M1 Using HDMI and DisplayPort

Are you looking to connect multiple displays to your new Mac Mini M1? You're in luck! With a few simple steps, you can easily set up a dual-monitor setup using both HDMI and DisplayPort.

First, let's start with the basics. The Mac Mini M1 has one HDMI 2.0 port that supports resolutions up to 3840 x 2160 at 60Hz. This is perfect for connecting your first monitor. But what about the second monitor? That's where DisplayPort comes in. You can connect your second monitor directly to the Mac Mini M1 using a DisplayPort cable.

But, there's a catch! The Mac Mini M1 only has one DisplayPort port, which is version 1.3. This means that if you want to run both monitors at high resolutions, you'll need to use a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter to connect the second monitor to the first monitor using an HDMI cable.

Now, let's talk about adapters. You can use either an Active DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter or a USB-C to HDMI Adapter to connect your second monitor. Just make sure that both cables are connected at the same time to the Mac Mini M1 and the monitor.

Once you've connected both monitors, you'll need to adjust the settings on each monitor to ensure they're set up correctly. You can do this by going into the monitor's settings menu and selecting the correct input source. For example, if your first monitor is connected directly to the Mac Mini M1 using an HDMI cable, you would select 'HDMI' as the input source.

That's it! With these simple steps, you should be able to connect multiple displays to your Mac Mini M1 using both HDMI and DisplayPort. Just remember to use the correct adapters and settings to ensure that everything is working correctly.
