can the mac mini be hooked up to third party monitors? basicly as it says above, can the mac mini be hooked up to third party monitors?

Absolutely. An adapter comes in the box to hook it up to third-party monitors with a DVI port. If the monitor you want to use is VGA only, then you can get another adapter from Apple for about $19.

Highest resolution I've used is 2560 x 1440... I have it hooked up to a 27" Thunderbolt Display. But I know you can "daisy chain" at least two thunderbolt displays together with a cable. No VGA out of the Mac Mini, if that's what you're asking.

Some of the cables are Passive. You will not be able to use the monitor on a Mac with a Passive cable. Fortunately for me, the one I bought was Active and worked the first time. Scroll down on this link to find the item named "Mini DisplayPort Male to DisplayPort DP Male Cable-6ft" http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mini-DisplayPort-Male-to-DisplayPort-DP-Male-Cable-6ft-/181173940008?ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:US:3160 This is probably the same cable on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Plated-DisplayPort-Thunderbolt/dp/B004CAGDUA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1376528786&sr=8-2&keywords=Mini+DisplayPort+Male+to+DisplayPort+DP+Male+Cable-6ft+Cable+Matters

The Mac mini has what is called a mini display port and a HDMI port. This means you have lots of options for connecting a monitor as it does not come with one. Most monitors use VGA or DVI and with an adapter that will work just fine. In my case, I actually use my television as my screen so I use an HDMI cable. It's great for me because it is the only cable of the three which transmits video and audio.

I used it with my new Mac Mini in combination with a new PC and it worked beautifully using 3 monitors. The problem for me was that my Pro Tools audio editing software didn't like it so I had to remove it. I was very disappointed. If you would like it, let me know what a fair price might be.

The new mac minis have HDMI and Display ports. You can purchase a display port adapter to DVI from monoprice or Apple store. Other option is a HDMI to DVI adpater

I use this monitor with my MacBook Pro. I had to buy a Thunderbolt/mini-display to HDMI adapter (or Thunderbolt to DVI, or Thunderbolt to VGA) but the expense was minimal and well worth it.

First off - I would recommend getting a better Asus monitor like the 246 or 248 - the one with LED. I sold this one already. Answer to your question is yes. You can connect macbooks to any monitory but you need the display port converter (for hdmi/dvi). As for mac tower, if they take display port, it should not be a problem. Check at the apple store.

Hi Margaret, the Mac Mini is a separate computer altogether, you can't just hook it up to another computer because it is one...Hope that answers your questions. Thanks

Yes, I have ours fed into two Sharp 70" led panels and the HDMI audio feed works through both panels with no issues at all. The room has its own audio so we don't run the sound on the panels, but the option is there and works. Did you get all the way into the sound settings on your mini? I'm not a Mac whiz, so I don't know exactly which steps you take, but there was more than one until we saw the HDMI choice. Actually the Mac is a dual boot to win7pro and it works on that operating system too. I can't stress how happy I was when I got my hands on the accell adapters, passive adapters just plain screwed me around in circles!

Yup, you'll need a mac display to HDMI (or DVI as monitor supports both) adapter.

Mini DVI can be connected to either the HDMI or one of the Thunderbolt ports with an inexpensive adapter. Most of these adapters or cables are under $10. A high end version from a company like Belkin is about $15 or less.This is not unique to the Mac Pro, because there are very few computers today that still use Mini DVI.

It wouldn't be possible unless your monitors have Thunderbolt I/O and support daisy-chaining.The Thunderbolt dock has two thunderbolt ports, yet, you use one of them to connect your Macbook to the dock and the other port as your Thunderbolt I/O for connecting to other devices.

The monitor has vga and dvi inputs. Only a vga cable is included. You will need to have the appropriate Apple mini-DVI to VGA or mini-DVI to DVI adapter, depending on the type of cable you use.

The monitor uses DVI input, so you need a DVI cable that can connect to your Mac. I'm not familiar with connecting DVI to Mac, but see cables for that purpose on the web. My Crossover is attached to a Windows computer.

Not sure about pre-intel. I have a 3-monitor set-up on 4 different mac-mini's in our sales office. At times the display link can be flaky but for the most part they were great. Be sure to update the firmware.

Yes it will. I recently bought a mac mini and ran into the same problem of how to hook up to a vga monitor. This works perfectly and you should have no problem with it!
