Are there any restrictions on using the Samsung ViewFinity S5 34" Monitor with the Mac mini M2?

I intend to purchase this monitor to use on the Mac mini M2, is it supported? If not, which monitors with these characteristics could be used, analyzing the cost x benefit?

Yes that display will work with the M2 Mac mini.


However you will most likely need to replace the Samsung supplied cable(s) to make the Mac mini happy.


To use the displays DisplayPort input, you will want a short 1 meter high speed 8K USB-C to DisplayPort cable.

for example: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08B3SB5VC/ref=sspa_dk_detail_1?


To use the displays HDMI input, you will want a short 1 meter high speed 8K HDMI cable.
