Hi,
I'm trying to figure out if the UP3216Q will work at full resolution on my new mac mini m1.
To my understading the HDMI is not an option. That leaves the display port on the UP3216Q but will it connect to the mac mini or will I need an adapter?
Thanks in advance,
Lasse

From my reading of the above (unfortunately copy and paste mixed it up some) your Mini has HDMI
About Apple video adapters and cables - https://support.apple.com/HT201853 - "Learn about the adapters and cables that you can use to connect an external display or projector to your Mac."
You do have an HDMI option:

Note there are a few drawbacks to that adapter such as a power-only USB-C port that won't serve much purpose with your Mini, and you may wish to disconnect it when not in use so you'd be doing that daily. You may also wish to see if there are third party solutions.
Thanks, Limnos
That's some useful links. However, I still can't tell if the adapter will give a 60hz playback on the mac mini. It's quite a jungle with connectivity, IMO.
