HP 2011 xi

I am thinking of using Mac Minis in my office for work stations. Does anyone know if the HP 2011 xi will be compatible with the Mac Mini?

Thank you,

Linda

This really isn't a reply to my first question, but can anyone suggest a monitor in the $150. or less range (17 to 21") to use on work stations for mainly text.


I prefer glossy screens for text as we currently have iMacs and I would not like to go down to a fuzzy screen.


Is there a site that lists compatible screens for the mini? I can't seem to get any recommendations when I go into stores, e.g., Best Buy or Fry's. They are witless when it comes to what is compatible with a Mac.

Thank you.

I just bought two Samsung S22B310 Monitors (1 for my Mini and 1 for my daughters) from BestBuy for a $149 each. Like most monitors they supports both DVI-D or VGA and work fine connected to the Mac Mini, using the Apple Supplied HDMI to DVI-D Adapter and a $10 DVI-D cable.

Here's the catch, most monitors only come with VGA cables and so your going to need to pick up some DVI-D cables as well.


Sadly BestBuy wants $25 for a $10 DVI-D cable, so you might want to buy cables from Amazon or another on-line supplier.
