New M1 Mini & Dell P2419HC display USB-C not working.

Greetings, brand new M1 Mini & Dell display. HDMI connection working well but monitor does not see Mini using Dell supplied USB-C cable or an Apple USB-C cable? What am I missing? Thanks.

Many thanks for your reply hcstas. I did eventually get everything working... but not 100 per cent how I did, or what I was doing wrong initially. The HDMI connection worked well so was able to set up Mini. Thought I would try connecting with my MacBook and the Dell cable worked ( the Apple cable did not... ). So tried the Dell cable on the Mini once again and low-n-behold display worked on the USB-C port. Reading round the Internet tells me that there are differing kinds of USB-C cables and the one I need is a cable able to carry all the info ( not just power / limited data ) needed for the video to work into the monitor.


If I figure out anything more on this as I set up my Mini + Dell monitor will post here.


Thanks again.
