If the new Mac-Mini does not put out analog video and Apple does not state this, what monitors will work with it?
Question marked as
Best reply
The new minis do put out analog - what they don't do is work with the DVI to analog TV adapter. However, either mini-Displayport or DVI to VGA adaptor will output a signal to just about any VGA display ever made.

My Mac mini 2009 works nice without problems with Samsung Syncmaster T220 via mini DVI to DVI (adapter was included with the mini)
I have a brand new 1920/1080 Samsung 40A656/ with Early '09 mini. Unfortunately the picture quality in what ever resolution is bad. Just check this picture to see an example!

mini-DVI --> DVI or mini-DVI --> VGA did not make any difference.
(I previously (december) used a last years Mini which actualy did give an excellent picture.)
So be aware... the new MINI '09 is not a friend for every TV!
Samsung says Apple is to blame and of course... Apple says it is a Samsung Issue.

This is interesting, as I have a potential switcher, who might buy a new Mac Mini if it will work with her Samsung SyncMaster 151MP. Has anyone any experience with this combination?
As I have just bought a new Mac mini I have tried many, many monitors and all have worked BUT as yet have not bought one as all to a certain degree have terrible display quality! Have tried a Samsung but not this model. I would try before you buy if screen quality is important. See my two recent posts.
I just got a 22 inch hp and it will work but the sound will not go very loud.
HP does not support Mac and Apple was not help . Said to by external speakers. I don't return it. I did write to HP and tell them they are not very customer friendly. Ahh well any help you can give ? thanks

isn't that adapter also a power supply, and in fact the same size as the power supplys for the cinema displays?

I'm relatively ignorant when it comes to cables, adaptors, and what all. Right now, I have an LG 19" flat panel LCD monitor hooked up to an old G4 tower. I assume that I would need some sort of adaptor to hook the same monitor to a Mini, if I decide to replace the G4 tower with a Mini. Which/what adaptor would I need? Thanks for any help or insights.
I just recently bought a Mac Mini for my Mom and her husband and it will not display correctly on a LG FLatron Wide Here are the specs:

The most frustrating part is that Apple says it will work on any display that accepts HDMI and it doesn't work on this display it is offset in every resolution. Furthermore, the monitor's positioning option is disabled making it impossible to move the screen. So I would highly recommend you see if you monitor is compatible with the new mac mini before purchasing or you will get a lot of headache and the ol' song and dance...Apple says contact LG. LG says contact Apple!! SO FRUSTRATED!!!

The Dell UltraSharp U3011 30-inch Widescreen Flat Panel Monitor will work with the Mac mini.
What Monitors WILL work with the Mac-Mini?
