I'm considering getting the M1 Mac Mini but need either 2 displays or an ultrawide monitor. I'm thinking about getting 2 of the LG 32" UltraFine (32UL950-W). I'm reading conflicting posts and wondering if anyone has any real world experience if this setup is working for them. Thanks!
Got a tip for us?

M1 Mac Mini with 2 - 32" LG UltraFine 4K?

I seems the Mac Mini cannot support it because the LG are Thunderbolt. The Mac mini supports only 1 USB-C/Thunderbolt monitor + 1 HDMI.
I’d look into Dell U3219Q instead.

The M1 Macs support Thunderbolt so that is not a problem.
The displays support DisplayPort and HDMI and USB-C alternatives, so you should be able to connect one to USB-C/Thunderbolt and one to HDMI.
The displays are 4K so the M1 Mac should be able to use it without problems.
If there's a problem with Thunderbolt connection as reported by some, then maybe a Thunderbolt connection to a Thunderbolt dock may help? Or use a USB-C to DisplayPort cable.
This person was able to use the 32UL950-W with an M1 Mac mini Thunderbolt port:
Mac mini M1 external display scaling option (HDMI/TB3)
When I use the HDMI Port I have different scaling options than using the Thunderbolt 3 Port (connected Mac mini M1 to an LG 32uL950-W) HDMI Port - pssobible scaling options: 1252x648 1504x846 1920x1080 2540x1440 3840x2160 Thunderbolt 3 - possible scaling options: 1504x846 1920x1080 2560x1440...
