Mac mini M4 Pro low display resolution is usually a cable, scaling, or detect issue - not the Mac. Fix in order: 1) Open System Settings → Displays. Select the external monitor. Hold Option and click "Scaled" - this reveals all supported resolutions the cable/port can carry. Pick the highest one labelled "More Space" or the monitor's native (3840×2160 for 4K, 5120×1440 for ultrawide, etc.). 2) Verify the cable supports the resolution: HDMI 2.0 caps at 4K@60Hz, HDMI 2.1 needed for 4K@120Hz.
USB-C / Thunderbolt 4 carries DisplayPort 1.4 (up to 6K@60Hz). Charge-only USB-C cables won't carry video. 3) Set refresh rate: in Displays, click the dropdown next to Refresh Rate - pick the monitor's native (60, 120, 144 Hz). 4) Some monitors require HDMI input mode set to "Enhanced" or "PC" via the monitor's own OSD. Visit our Dubai store with the monitor for hands-on tuning.
