What is the maximum display resolution that the 2012 mac mini supports?

Looking at buying the new Mac Mini, the specifications say that it has the Intel HD Graphics 4000 graphics card but no further details on the specs supported. I am interested in what the maximum display resolution supported is.

Anyone know?

Mac mini, iOS 6
