These new Mac mini's are very picky when it come to HDMI cables.


Test a short high speed HDMI cable between the Mac mini and HDMI monitor.

for example: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09HXPZ1PQ/ref=sspa_dk_detail_2?th=1


Then if that doesn't help, have the Mac mini checked out by your local Apple Store or AASP.
