Hi for everyone,
I saw in the technical specifications of my mac mini 2012 that he can support up to 2560X1600 display resolution and I wanted to know what cable exactly should I need to connect between the mac mini to the monitor? I just do not understand it at all.
Right now my mac mini connected to a SONY TV monitor and the maximum resolution is: 1080i or 1080p.
Thanks for the helpers,
Kfir

A lot of TVs will only support 1080p resolution unless you have one of the newer 4k models. You will need to use or purchase a display that supports 2560x1600 resolutions. Just make sure you check the user guide for the display to see which video inputs the display supports and whether the display requires the use of two inputs. Many times you can download the user guides for a product from the manufacturer's website or sometimes from the website selling the product. You need to make sure that the video inputs supported by the display can also be used by your Mini either natively or with an appropriate adapter.

Hi everyone,
I search for a 4K and higher resolution, Apple Monitors.
How can I know what monitor is supported in Displayport to a Mini a Displayport (Thunderbolt) Display?
I would love for you to find me some models..
Thank you,

Hi, first of all thank you for your reply to me.
My SONY TV model is: KDL32WE615 which is HD Ready model.
I want to buy this 4K monitor (not only to my mac mini 2012, but to my Apple TV 4K): https://www.asus.com/Monitors/MX27UC/
What do you think? and what cable should I need to use to get at least 2K (2560X1600) resolution?
Thanks a lot,
Kfir
I have an available Apple Thunderbolt display. That seems to be the ideal choice for your Mac, but it's not 4K for Apple TV. It has the mini-displayport style connector and it was discontinued by Apple a good while back. If you're interested, please reply.
In order to get the resolution you are wanting you would need a mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable.
And that's all? I just need to change the resolution in system preferences > display > scaled and selecting the resolution that I want (2560X1600) ?
Thank you,
Kfir
That's all I had to do with a HP ENVY 34c. As I remember it was the Default for Display resolution.
Excellent! thank you very much!
Hey, I'm already done. Thank you anyway.
