Hi, so I have upgraded to the Mac Mini A1993 (2018). Bought two, new high speed HDMI to USB-C cables, plugged them in and pow... doesn’t work. I’m now reading I actually need an adapter? Is that the case? I mean my old mini had the mini-display port (T2) and worked great from these same monitors. Am I missing something?
Mac mini, macOS 10.15
OK, so actually, it does work. My issue was not following the instructions. The four T-3 ports on the back of the 2018 Mini operates on different bus’s. So i plugged on monitor in all the way on the left port, the other on the far right port and viola, I have working monitors. On a side note, the 2018 A1993 is BLISTERING fast compared to the 2014 unit I had. So I’m just dumb... I’ll take ownership of that!

Try to connect one monitor to HDMI, second to USB-C/Thunderbolt port in your mini.
I have the same problem. If I connect all to USB-C I got a black screens. One to HDM port, another to USB-C - works.
Hello,
Thunderbolt does not natively have the same bus for HDMI video out. You will need an adapter that is explicitly compatible with Macintosh.
2018 Mini A1993 HDMI direct to Thunderbolt 3?
