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)
