Are you using the Apple ThunderBolt PRO cable that shipped with that display?

connecting through one of the the back ports of the Mac mini?

connecting to the port on the display closest to the stand?

Does it work at 60 Hz fixed refresh rate?

any other displays involved?

Yes I am using ThunderBolt cable that shipped with Apple display.
Connecting via ThunderBolt connector to USB C
Directly connecting to Mac Mini M4
It does not show the refresh rate in display settings when connected
No other display.

My MacBook Pro is working fine with the same Apple studio display without any flickering Issue.

MacMini M4 when connected to smart TV via HDMI there is no flickering issue.
