What cable would I need to connect my display port Acer EB243YU monitor to my new MacBook Pro M1 HDMI port? Acer tech indicated that the HDMI ports on the monitor are not usable with Macs so I have been using display port to USB C adapter with my 2018 MacBook Pro. I would like to take advantage of the HDMI port on the new MacBook Pro M1.
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.5
That appears to be a 2560 by 1440 display. It should be supported over HDMI, even on older Macs with an HDMI port, provided you use a Certified High-speed HDMI cable.
"4K' at 60 Hz requires a Mac that supports HDMI 2.0, which the new M1 Macs with an HDMI port do indeed support:
Connect to HDMI from your Mac - Apple Support
older Macs are stuck at "4k" at 30 Hz over built-in HDMI.

Thank you! I purchased a certified high speed HDMI cable at walmart and it worked with my 2018 mackbook pro. The ACER tech folks were wrong. I assume I'll have no issues when my M1 macbook pro arrives.
Much appreciated,
Michelle.
That is weird... Your HDMI port on that monitor should work fine with the M1's HDMI port
