I have an M1 Mac mini and I plan on using two displays with it (an ultra wide monitor and I'd like to have one more display above it for dual monitoring). I'm curious about what would be the best way to use two displays with it? I've noticed that the M1 Mac mini doesn't have as many connection ports as the original mini. What would be a good choice here?
You must connect one display to the HDMI Port and one display to a Thunderbolt/USB 4 port.

@den.thed Thanks! So...I'm a music producer and I need more thunderbolt ports for my external hard drives. Would it be healthy for the connection if I bought a thunderbolt hub to extend one (of the two) available thunderbolt ports on the M1 Mac mini (for drives, etc.), and the other port could be used for the second display? I'm asking this because I know hubs can cause connectivity issues sometimes, but it seems like it's the only choice I have because the M1 Mac mini only has two thunderbolt ports?
You’re welcome.
Yes, just make sure to look for a Hub or Dock that has it’s own power supply.
