No, my concern is that you’re using USB spec cables, not solely Thunderbolt cables, for your USB-C connection. Apple states that both cables must be Thunderbolt.
EDIT: hopefully
editing a comment allows the “quote” ping to pass. I had no idea you’d replied until I happened to come back to the thread because there was no quote. I want to extend you the same courtesy without double-posting.
Wait, you’re saying that Apple
demands a pure Thunderbolt cable to output to a display that only has a USB-C input? I mean… it still doesn’t work. I bought one to see if the cable was the problem and it still didn’t work. The video and audio cut out randomly just like with the USB-C cable (which clearly works for outputting video/audio in its own right).
I refuse to buy another computer just to see if it’s the Mac Mini’s ports that are broken or the Mac Mini’s spec itself that can’t handle 5120x1440, despite claiming to be able to handle 2x 5120x2880 or 1x 6k and 1x 5120x2880 together. I don’t own anything else with a USB-C port to test that end. And therefore I have no idea if it’s the display’s USB-C port that is broken. I’m just
desperately trying to rule out every other possible problem (cable, port on computer, specification the computer allows, etc.) before my 1 year warranty expires on the display so I can get it repaired for free, because I sure as hell can’t afford another one of these, either.
