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.

Just to add, be sure to get a VESA certified DisplayPort to USB-C cable. Generic ones that are not certified can lead to questionable results.
DisplayPort certified cables will have the following marking on the box and or cable:
That Warrky cable should work fine for the 2K ASUS monitor that you have.
If the Warrky cable doesn't work or you ever decide to get a higher resolutions DP Display, then a certified 1.4 8K cable would be the best choice. for example > https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09NVV76FH/ref=sspa_dk_detail_5?
That was my question. My monitor is 2K so I'll do the DisplayPort option. I appreciate your help.
You’re welcome.
I don't think it is. This is what I bought: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RY75V7Q?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1
Also, this is an old monitor. The port is Display Port 1.2, not 1.4. It seems the VESA certified cables are 1.4.
Thanks. I'm sure I will eventually upgrade the monitor. I appreciate the feedback.
You’re welcome.
Mac Mini M1 to HDMI 1.4 or Display Port 1.2?
