You can find this adapter. It will connect between 2012 MacMini to "display port capable" monitor.

Or, if you can find a Thunderbolt Display (made by Apple) -- you won't need any cable at all - just plug and go.

It will work with a Mini DisplayPort to Display Port cable, but keep in mind that the 2012 Mac Mini's GPU will limit you to 2560x1600. see > https://support.apple.com/kb/sp659?locale=en_US
