Wondering if this is even possible. I do have MacMini 2018(highest version) and I want to have the as sharpest text as possible (hunting retina quality). Dell UP3218K does have the highest PPI ever. But wondering if this is even applicable.
Of course, for my development work, I would scale this to a smaller resolution.
Does anybody have some recommendations or tips?
Mac mini, macOS 10.15
Yes it is possible to connect that Dell Display to the 2018 Mac Mini using a Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to DisplayPort cable.
You will also need to purchase a Mac compatible 8K Thunderbolt 3/USB-C to DisplayPort cable.

To check out the full 2018 Intel Mac Mini Video Support spec's,
The two DisplayPort inputs on the monitor are so you can share the monitor with two computers, using a button on the monitor to switch between ports.
Be aware the monitor has a maximum resolution of 7680 x 4320, while the highest resolution the Mini can support for a single input is 5120 x 2880. So everything will be scaled to fit.
Wow. Thank You.
Actually I will need only one cable right? I heard that you need to plug a two cables?
Yes, but it looks like you can use the Dell supplies a USB 3.0 cable for displays down stream USB ports.
So let me make it streight. You suggest to connect TB3 to DP 8K and usb downstream cable to my macmini?
Yes, the 8K TB 3 to DP cable for video and the Dell supplied USB 3.0 cable if you want to plug other USB devices into the displays downstream ports.
Even better as I will not be able to see any details on 8k :D PPI is I hope key here to see my code in super sharp mode:)
