Mac Mini Newbie here.
Getting the Viewsonic VX2450WM monitor for it. There is no HDMI on this monitor, but reviews said it's Mac mini compatible.
Do I need to get an additional cord? HDMI to DVI adapter cable? Does the supplied short white cord inside Mac Mini packaging suffice?
Thank you!

That shuold do it if you have DVI cable from the monitor. 🙂
It doesn't. I think we need an HDMI to VGA adapter. I'm not sure and waiting for help!
No, the HDMI on Mini only support digital VGA is analogue
Can the HDMI port drive analog displays (VGA displays for example) using adapters?
No. The HDMI port will drive digital connections—such as DVI—using the adapter that came with the Mac mini, but cannot be used for analog displays such as VGA. You can purchase a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter separately to drive analog displays.
