Does the M4 Mac mini support 1440p @ 360Hz?

I have recently purchased the (currently new) base-model M4 Mac mini (running MacOS Sequoia) in combination with the Samsung Odyssey OLED g60sd. The latter is capable of displaying a resolution that of 2560x1440 at a 360Hz refresh rate. I have attempted finding answers to my questions online to no avail. 

As of now, I am aware of the fact that the monitor is able to support the necessary bandwidth via DisplayPort 1.4 in addition to DSC (as is a given).

Regarding the M4 Mac mini, Apple's documentation lacks explicit details on whether or not the M4 chip supports DSC. Furthermore, I did not find any information on what the maximum refresh rate is, which the Mac is able to output/ supports.

The HDMI cable that is included with the monitor only supports 1440p @ 120Hz. This is why I would also appreciate any recommendations on which cable to acquire that is able to handle 1440p @ 360Hz.

Any information concerning the aforementioned inquiries is welcome!


P.S. I know this is not the best choice of monitor for the Mac, considering that I plan on gaming on it and my Xbox Series S. The reason I bought this monitor is due to an unbelievably good deal that presented itself to me.

Mac mini, macOS 15.1

You're welcome.


The mini can output video on its USB-C, HDMI and Thunderbolt ports.

The resolution and refresh rate on each will vary, but that is also listed in the specs.


The Samsung monitor has DisplayPort input which can be fed by the mini's Thunderbolt port. It also has USB and HDMI, so those could be used.


Whatever connection option you choose, I'd advise you to use the best quality cable that you can. Macs tend to be finicky where cabling is concerned.
