Q: VGA Display: native 1600x1200 not possible?

Hello,



 

I am moving from a Mini Late 2009 to a Mini Late 2012.


 

My Display is a 20" TFT which has only a VGA Input and a native resolution of 1600x1200 (UXGA).

This works fine on the Mini Late 2009 on both "Apple Mini-DVI to VGA" and "Apple Mini Display-Port to VGA" Adapters.


 

But on the Mini Late 2012 the same Display, same VGA-Cable and the same "Apple Mini Display-Port to VGA" Adapter only works with an resolution of "1152x864" when Resolution is set to "Default for display".


 

When I switch from "Default for display" to "Scaled" only these Resolutions are selectable:

1152x864

1024x768

 

When clicking to “Scaled” while the”alt” key is pressed more resolutions are shown.

But 1400x1050 is the highest and needed 1600x1200 is missing.

 

Does anybody knows a way to get 1600x1200 working on Mini Late 2012 with a Displayport to VGA Adapter?

 

Thanks in advance!

Mac mini, OS X El Capitan (10.11.1)
