How to connect Mac Mini M1 to 1080p monitor?

No, I won't. I already decided on this one: https://www.amazon.nl/gp/product/B0091FC2JM/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A17D2BRD4YMT0X&psc=1

Good choice?

No, buy the Apple HDMI to DVI Adapter from the Apple store.

Actually, after a bit more reading, I ended up buying this one: https://www.amazon.nl/dp/B07PV8QXN4/ref=pe_19967891_404437601_TE_item

And it works magnificently. I'm not sure if it's my eyes deceiving me, but my 1080p monitor looks better than ever!

Hello,

I just purchased a new Mac Mini (16/512) that will arrive in two or three weeks (very excited about that!). I need to connect it to an older NEC 23" 1080p monitor. The monitor is still good enough for my needs for now.

The monitor has three ports: DisplayPort, DVI-D and VGA.

Right now it's connected to my old Mac Pro (2009) via DVI-D and it looks great (I calibrate it once a month).
What would be the best way to connect it to the Mac Mini M1? I've been looking at adapters/cables but am completely lost in the nomenclature.

Thanks for any help.

Levina, Just got my Mac mini MI and spent two days trying to get it to work with Older HP display with DVI inputs.
Got the USB C and HDMI ports to work with my LG TV But nothing worked with the HP. Bought a USB C to Dvi adaptor from Amazon and the monitor now works and looks great! Adaptor was around 12 bucks.
Best of luck with your new Mini ! When you get it to work you'll be very happy with it.

Hi Chuck. That is the cable I too ended up buying: USB C to DVI and my monitor looks and works great!
