Note the "dual-link".

Most USB-C to DVI adapters are single-link adapters that cannot support resolutions higher than 1920x1200 pixels. Unless an adapter's description says that it is dual-link, assume that it is single-link.

Hi,

To connect a old "30" inch Apple HD Cinema Display to a Mac Mini M4, you'll need to get a USB-C to Dual-Link DVI adapter and a USB-A to USB-C adapter.
