Unless you are a early adopting, it is never advisable to buy the first generationn of a new product, a product that faces a large number of incidents that disappear in subsequent generations. In the case of the new Mac Mini, we have to add one more incident, an incident that shows pink pixels when connecting a monitor via HDMI.
According to the guys at MacRumors, on Reddit and in Apple's support forums, there are a large number of threads in which they claim that after connecting a monitor through the HDMI connection to the Mac Mini with the Apple M1 processor, they appear on the screen pink pixels, a problem that since Apple have recognized through a memorandum internal and are already working on a solution.
These pixels are not displayed when connecting to the Mac Mini through a USB-C or Thunberbolt port. While from Apple they work on the solution to this problem proposes a temporary solution: Put the equipment to rest for two minutes. Then wake it up, turn off the display, and change the resolution in System Preferences.
One more graphical problem
This not the first problem related to the graphics of this model managed with Apple's M1 processor, since when we connect an ultra-wide or super-ultra-wide monitor, the resolution options to use these models do not appear, although from Apple they say they are working to offer support.
Most likely Apple will launch a minor update To solve this problem, an update that will only be available for these models, unless you decide to include it in the next update of macOS Big Sur, specifically in the version 11.3, of which the second public beta is already available.
