Can I use Dual Displays with New Mac Mini (HDMI Thunderbolt)

Hello Everyone,


This question may have been asked before... but I just purchased a beautiful new Mac mini and it has an HDMI port in the back and a Thunderbolt port. I am using a new DELL 23" HDMI monitor that also accepts DVI. I think I could run another monitor on the Mac Mini, but I don't know which is the best way to go... I purchased a mini-display port to DVI adapter because I heard thunderbolt could accept the mini-display cable.


1. Should I purchase the other identical Dell monitor and then run it on Thunderbolt 2 DVI and run it DVI


2. Or is there a HDMI splitter that splits the signal into two cables and go that way?


Any advice would be greatly appreciated Thanks!

Mac mini, Mac OS X (10.7)
