HDMI On Mac Mini Late 2012: Problem with hardware?

Just converted from PC to Mac.

Purchased latest mac mini (Late 2012 version)


Have tried several monitors through HDMI port and each time the picture quality is poor with very bad text resolution.

Have tried HDMI to HDMI and also tried HDMI to DVI adaptor.

This is with full 1080p 27 inch samsung monitor and HP 2010i monitor.


Is there a problem with the HDMI port on this new mac mini?

The monitors I have are fine and are crystal sharp when connected to PC.


Many thanks if you can answer this

Mac mini, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

Hello.


Mac Mini 2012 is my first MAC. Bought in december. If i had seen these post before i would never have bought the mini. I have a 24" viewsonic monitor and connected using HDMI cable. Colors are so incorrectly displayed. I tried everything that you guys said but in vain.


Really relieved when i saw Fouad post.


Hope it really cures this disease else i will put it back in the box and return to good old PC.


Thanks.

Hey thanks for that


But seriously guys.

It works perfect with the beta update.

Don't be disappointed yet, you have a powerful machine and just have patience because they will release the firmware update any day.

I use this Mac mini for movies and tv shows though so my purpose was the video quality.

I'm sure that and other issues will be corrected with the official update
