Mac Mini with LED Cinema Display through the HDMI port ?

[Ollie Axe]

Hello guys, I have a Mid 2014 15 Macbook Pro currently connected to an Apple Thunderbolt Display and an Apple LED Cinema Display 27 and I want to upgrade to the M1 Mac Mini M1 but I don't know exactly if that's possible for me to use both of my monitors at the same time as I know that you can only get one thunderbolt display so I was thinking maybe I could adapt the miniDisplayport to HDMI but as far as I've looked I could not find an adapter for that so here I am, ready to get my dreams crushed.

Thank you for your time and patience.

There's a thread at Apple discussions about it and the poster got it working with these two adapters, just ordered them myself.

This is good to know !

Will the sound transfer thru to the display ?

If i am not mistaken the sound goes through the USB cable on your monitor so the adapter should have no effect on that, you could probably use it as a speaker as it is.
