Hi, TheNightOwlet, sure- you can use pretty much any monitor or a tv with an HDMI input with your Mac Mini M2 ( with the appropriate adaptors/cables, of course) .. looks like you have Thunderbolt 4 ( or 3) over USB-C plus an hdmi output, according to Apple : Mac mini (2023) - Technical Specifications (CA)
That monitor will give you 1920x1080 over hdmi or vga, no DisplayPort.. and it’s hdmi 1.4… that’s its max resolution. It’s an IPS panel which is nice ( that’s my preferred one) but other than that, nothing really to write home about… retail price is around $250… maybe something like this from Amazon… ??
you might be able to find/buy a refurbished/open box monitor special at a store in your area/city ( wherever that is) .. pretty much any monitor should be fine( or tv with hdmi input) … a word of advice, though, maybe stay away from Dell monitors—- they aren’t bad monitors, it’s just that they don’t play nicely at all with Macs… if they work, they work, and if not, if you have problems, Dell will say “we don’t support Macs” ( and they’re correct) and Apple will say “we don’t support Dells” ( and they’re correct too)
hope this helps
