Mac Mini M1 to HDMI 1.4 or Display Port 1.2?

I have an older ASUS Monitor (2K) that has both HDMI 1.4 and Display Port 1.2. I understand the Mac Mini M1 will work with either but which is better? If I use Display Port to USB C I'll need to buy an adapter. I understand I can connect HDMI with my existing cables.

Mac mini 2018 or later

HDMI will work just fine for a 1080 display at 60Hz. Although you may need a better HDMI cable than the one that came with the display.


A USB-C to DisplayPort cable will work better for higher resolutions with higher refresh rate displays and ultra wide displays.
