Can I use a Thunderbolt 4 monitor with a Mac mini M1 computer?

I stand corrected, thanks.

I would use HDMI-HDMI for video and connect the monitor’s USB upstream port (not Thunderbolt 4 upstream port) to the mini’s USB A port. This method completely avoids Thunderbolt 4 because:

• the monitor’s stated maximum resolution is compatible with the mini’s HDMI port bandwidth, so TB 4 serves no purpose other than to provide bandwidth for the monitor’s LAN port which you probably don’t need
• the Thunderbolt 4 upstream port of the monitor will likely attempt to power the mini without making any attempt to enquire if the mini needs powering or not, which could cause mystery problems, perhaps even damage the mini’s USB C port over time.

To be honest, I would avoided this display. It’s vast overkill/over-engineered + terrible support for Apple connectivity issues + guaranteed blame-game ping pong if you run into issues. Good luck!

Your question is confusing:

• no such thing called a max mini M1
• no such thing called a Thunderbolt 4 monitor

Could you be specific? What monitor make and model are you interested in connecting and to which machine, the Mac mini M1 or the Mac Studio with M1 Max chip?

FWIW, there are less expensive displays on the market with equal or better display panel specs without the added cost of a Thunderbolt interface which really does not add anything to the video performance when used with a MacMini.
