Q: Is MacMini (2012) capable of viewing 4K?
Hi,
If I connect my MacMini (2.6 Ghz, Intel Core i7) to a 4K monitor with thunderbolt/mdp... will I be able to play full screen video?
And whatabout to a 1.4 HDMI 4K TV Monitor? Not through the HDMI port but through the Thunderbolt/MDP with a good MDP--> HDMI converter?
I am asking this because you can start to find some "cheap" 4K monitors around but most of them (if not all) have only 1.4 HDMI.. but no MDP.

18. What is the maximum resolution available for use with the Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter?
The resolution available with the Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter is 1920 x 1200. VGA displays that use higher refresh rates (such as 85 Hz) at resolutions of 1600 x 1200 or greater may not generate video properly until you lower the refresh rate.
