Can people post which monitors they are using with the M2 and M2 Pro Mac minis, along with the ports and adapters they are using?

It seems the monitor compatibility with the M1 Mac minis is not the same as with the M2 Mac minis. I was hoping the M2 Mac minis would improve compatibility, but I've seen at least one post now that says his/her monitor doesn't wake up with the M2 Mac mini even though it worked with the M1. I can't seem to find the post now though.

For the record, see my sig but I'm using a 4K+ 28.2" Huawei MateView with an M1 Mac mini, but I don't have an M2 to test.

Replaced a M1 Mac Mini with M2 Pro (10CPU/16GPU) connected to 2 Acer QHD ET322QU (2560x1440) displays with USB-C to Display port connections. Having lots of issues with RDP lag using Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac. The M1 had no issues driving 2 monitors over RDP. Same issues with other PCs. Have not tried another RDP program yet.

Apparently the RDP issues were not graphics or performance related, but rather network issues. There are reported issues with the Hardware AVB/EAV mode setting on the Ethernet adapter and this feature has to be turned off. Previous Mac minis use this setting enabled without issues. The 2 QHD monitors seem to be working fine. This post discusses the network issue: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/m2-pro-ethernet-issues.2378455/
