With so many great options, it may be hard to choose. The iMac Late 2012 has a Thunderbolt port and the Mid 2010 has a Mini DisplayPort.
Is it possible to use a Mac Mini with a LG 34UC97 with a resolution 3.440 x 1.440 60Hz with thunderbolt. My question is, what is the max resolution what you can use with one Display. Its combined features and price make it a great consideration. I want to connect an iMac 27-inch Late 2012 and an iMac 27-inch Mid 2010 to two Mac Mini M1 and use them as displays, so I'd like to know what type of cable should I buy for each one of them.

When it comes to excellent 4K monitors, the BenQ EW3280U is hard to beat, with excellent bang for your buck.

It would be an understatement to say that Apples Mac Pro workstation was getting a little long in the tooth. This is our favorite pick out of the best 4K monitors for Mac. Apple Mac Pro review (2013): small, fast and in a league of its own. Since it can charge your MacBook, MacBook Air, or 13-inch MacBook Pro, and it also features two USB-A ports, two HDMI ports, a display port, and a headphone jack, it is not only a fantastic monitor but a whole hub for connectivity. You're also going to want the flexibility of having a variety of different ports. Of course, when it comes to using a newer MacBook, like the MacBook Pro or MacBook Air, you're going to want it to come with a USB-C port unless you have a USB-C hub. Plus, its ultrafine 4K display and high color fidelity make this screen look amazing right out of the box. With one Thunderbolt 3 port, USB-A, an HDMI, and multiple DisplayPort ports, this monitor has tons of connectivity to attach all your favorite devices. I think Apple just put a lid on GPU load to get a smoother graphics and possibly avoid overheating of the GPU inside a laptop. We all confused by this nomenclature.LG's big 32-inch 32UL950 is not only a Thunderbolt 3 monitor, meaning you can daisy chain monitors together, but also has quite a few ports. The 2013 Mac Pro can drive 4K at 60 Hz, the 2013 rMBPs can drive 4K at 30 Hz (and they have a one year newer Intel graphics than your Mac Mini, assuming its a 2012 model). In Apple World they are identical but given two different names. If youve bought a Mac mini or Mac Pro, youll need a display to go with it and even those with an iMac or MacBook might fancy a second screen. Thunderbolts and Mini DisplayPorts are different in the real world. In Apple World Thunderbolts are not Lightning… even though the Thunderbolt icon is…Lightning. Thunderbolts are lightning in the real world. So here is what I learned about their mixed metaphors: The Apple store employee explained this can only be discovered by close reading of the small mouse-size type in faint gray on the side of the box. You cannot buy a Thunderbolt to VGA adapter because it is called Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter. You wouldn’t know it if you didn’t ask, but the Thunderbolt port is identical to the Mini DisplayPort. Yes, you are right, the shapes of the two ports are identical.
What, exactly, is different between these two ports? Certainly the names are different. All I could find was the one on the right, Mini DisplayPort to VGA. I was looking for the one on the left, Thunderbolt to VGA.
So I went back to the store to exchange Lightning for Thunderbolt. In fact, the icon for Thunderbolt is…lightning! It’s a rookie mistake.

That’s annoying, naming two different adapters with synonyms. Having recently went through the process of updating a handful of Macs to the latest versions of Mac OS X as part of a gifting tech support campaign, several Macs developed an odd flickering display problem that was only visible when an external monitor was connected to the Mac. I went back to the package and saw Apple’s mistake - the faint gray lettering said Lightning to VGA, not Thunderbolt to VGA. Then I tried to connect the adapter to the computer. So I scanned the nearly identical packages of adapters, saw what I needed and made it home in no time at all. Earlier that day I had checked it out online, knew that I needed a Thunderbolt to VGA adapter. The other day I went into the neighborhood Apple store looking for an adapter to connect our new Airbook to our somewhat older monitor with its VGA ports.
Welcome to the storm clouds in Apple’s product nomenclature! Today their metaphorical grasp is slipping. Generally Apple has a good grasp of metaphor based naming systems: Apple, Macintosh, MacBook. Apple has gone too cute with their nomenclature for connectors, cables and adapters.
