mac mini 2020, monitor compatibility

The old model of the minimac was normally compatible with an asus monitor with a frequency of 76 Hz. The new minimak does not work with this monitor, there is no image. The characteristics of the minimak 2020 indicate a frequency of 60 Hz. Need to buy a new monitor?

You did not include the specific model of ASUS monitor, so I am taking a shot in the dark. Most likely, the 76hz is the high end of the monitor's frequency range, and that is not a fixed, single, setting.


The first, and most obvious, step is to be sure that the monitor is set to the correct input port. The cable could be plugged into HDMI 1 and the input be set to HDMI 2, etc. After that, work through the monitor's on screen menus to see if there is a setting that needs to be changed. I would think that the monitor should be capable of adapting to the more common 60hz frequency, and work just fine.
