how to connect 3 monitors to a 2021 Mac mini

how do you connect 3 monitors to a 2021 mac mini? I don't want it to be mirrored. I want 3 or 4 separate monitor images. Which exact adapter if any do i need? How do i configure it?

Very expensive. You need a 2x2 video wall processor that can split a 4K input into 4x 1080p outputs (most also support 1x3 layouts). The end result is almost indistinguishable from using your displays in Extended Desktop mode, but will cost you $200+


If you need 3 monitors each using a separate space then the best you can do is use two directly connected monitors plus a third AirPlay2 compatible SmartTV connected by Airplay.
