How many displays can be connected to Mac mini
The number of external displays that you can use at the same time depends on your Mac model and the resolution and refresh rate of each display.
Using a supported hub or daisy-chaining displays can enable up to 2 displays over a single Thunderbolt port, but does not increase the maximum number of displays that you can connect. Connect the display with the highest resolution first.
