What brand and model is the display?


HDMI has limitations across various devices and cables.


The M2 Mac mini spec's and related article, suggest that HDMI only supports 60Hz.

see "Video Support" at > Mac mini - Technical Specifications - Apple

and "Mac mini M2" at > Connect a display to Mac mini - Apple Support


Note: if your display has DisplayPort input, then you should be able to get higher resolutions and refresh rates using a premium 8K USB-C to DisplayPort cable.
