I have a new MAC mini as of 4/2014. Can I use this monitor with that computer for 2560*1440 video?

We use this with a 2012 macbook pro that has an intel HD 4000 graphics card (same as the latest mac mini's) and it works fine. I believe you would only have issues if you tried to use it in conjunction with a second monitor. As a solo monitor it should be fine. You will however probably want a mini display port to display port adapter cable. That has worked well for us.

Dirk. I know nothing about the MAC...I'm a PC user and I can't find the paperwork that came with the monitor so I can look up the spec info you need, so I really don't have a clue if it is compatible with a MAC or not. Why wouldn't it be? Maybe if you check online with Samsung with this model number, that might give you your answer. Sorry I can't be of more help.

yes, the mini displayport is Thunderbolt compatible. You only get the video out portion, but it is how I use my large Dell monitor to my Mac.

I'm not familier with the Shimian 27" [2560 X 1440], but it will work with a Macbook Pro [2011]. If the Shimian is capable of displaying less than 2560 X 1440 resolution, you will be able to display at a resolution that looks as good as the resolution on the laptop screen, resolution wise, and it will be larger so easier to see. That said, I have a 27" [2560 X 1440] IMON that I bought directly from Korea and the midyear 2011 MacBook Pro I drive doesn't have enough video card to sustain it. I am also supplying a 30" Apple Cine monitor with mine. So my answer for your Shimian is, "I don't know."

I was misled by some of these answers, at least for macs ... if you use the DVI cable in the box with a standard minidisplay port to DVI adapter (less than $20), you won't be able to go over 1920x1200. You need a mini display port to display port cable or a mini display port and DUAL LINK DVI adapter (about $90+) to get this to work at 2560x1440 resolution on os x.

I really do not know - there are a lot of variables and I don't think I have enough info to answer confidently. - I have an early 2008 Mac Pro and had to get a new video card. Not familiar with the 2009 - your question implies that it does have a mini display port. Also not sure if the connector on the display - they may have changed them with subsequent runs. The only problem is connectors - once the correct connectors are in place, it should work. You should be able to find and adapter and/or cable that will work. Also - beware if it involves a DVI connector - there are about 5 different versions that seem to be the same at a glance, but closer look shows they are not.

You will need a converter! It might be an Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter, but I apologize that I cannot remember exactly - I bought one, and it looked very much like this: http://www.showmecables.com/product/Mini-DisplayPort-to-DVI-Adapter.aspx?utm_source=google&utm;_medium=cse&utm;_campaign=2914&zmam;=49733141&zmac;=5&zmas;=1&zmap;=2914&gc;lid=CMWt0KeH_L4CFbRj7AodaB8AEg.Check to make sure I'm not telling you the wrong thing! I also looked into HDMI converters, but I don't think so fit. I was able to check one out from my local library, because they keep HDMI converters to connect Macs to overhead projectors, and that allowed me to try and find out that it didn't work.

Should do. Double check https://www.apple.com/au/mac-mini/specs.html - says that it has a mini display port

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.

I would imagine that any of the latest Apple computers, which have more powerful chips, would be able to run the 23 inch monitor. As long as the ports and cables are compatible I don't see why they would be in issue. That being said, I do see why there would be an issue. That being said, I can't say with absolute certainty whether they are compatible. I realize my answer is a bit ambiguous, but I hope it helps.

Push Command & F2(pending on year of iMac),pending year,you may also need to hit your Function (fn) button as well. Also try going into "system Preferences" go to "Display" & use the "Target Display" options. Most (if not a large percent) of Mini Display will work with the thunderbolt.They're also "Thunderbolt to HDMI adapters you can use.I use one when need be to hook up my iMac or MacBook Pro to a TV. They are inexpensive $7.00-$10.00.The Mini display or regular Display cables will get you better graphics FYI, than an HDMI or VGA.

I am using my Asus notebook with HDMI for this monitor. I have a late 2007 macbook, but haven't tried it yet. It will need some sort of adapter. If you type a word combination of this monitor and your system into Google, there are forums that might answer your question.

Yes, it works great with my 2012 (Core i7 version) Mac Mini. You will need a Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable/adapter to get maximum performance. This one works great for me: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004CAGDUA/

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

I'm using this with a recently purchased late 2012 Mac mini so I didn't need to buy a new monitor. It let me continue using my Dell monitor.

If you have an HDMI out - then yes directly. You have a DisplayPort/Thunderbolt - then get a DisplayPort-HDMI adapter - then you can connect it, this is how I connected my parents mac mini to their HD TV. Sound is separate in this case. If you are also looking for sound to travel - The best route may be use an AppleTV and send your display to the AppleTV.

Since the latest Mac Mini has the Intel HD 4000 it will be able to work with 4k with this adapter. But additionally you will need to use a pixel clock patch (you can find it via google) to make it work.
