While there plenty of USB-C to HDMI cables to choose from (Apple even sells their own USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter), almost all of them are unidirectional (meaning they can send data in only one direction.) That means that a USB-C to HDMI is NOT the same as an HDMI to USB-C cable, which is what I needed for the LG display. Here’s where things get tricky: you cannot use a standard USB-C to HDMI cable. That means if you buy your computer and monitors from Apple, you have to convert the HDMI source from the M1 Mac Mini to USB-C before you can use two displays.

I wanted to see if all the hype was real, and I really liked the idea of a regular desk setup that never changed. So right before Christmas break, I got an M1 Mac Mini. I also have heard a lot of great things about the new M1 Macs.
