Q: Mac Mini (mid-2011) HDMI version and max resolution?

Hi

 

I have a Mac Mini mid-2011.

 

According to the Apple spec sheet it says:

"HDMI port with support for up to 1920-by-1200 resolution"

But it doesn't say which version of HDMI it has.

 

Is that 1920x1200 a hard limit? I have a 27" screen that supports higher resolutions but they do not show up in the settings.

 

I am curious whether I maybe have an HDMI cable that is only v1.2 and if getting a more recent one (>v1.3) would allow me to select higher resolutions,

or if the Mini itself, in spite of being a 2011 model only uses an old HMDI standard.

I could get higher resolutions via the display port but my screen doesn't have the proper connector.

 

 

HMDI supports the following resolutions:

 

HMDI v1.0 (2002): 1920×1200p60

HMDI v1.1 (2004): 1920×1200p60

HMDI v1.2 (2005): 1920×1200p60

HMDI v1.3 (2006): 2560×1600p75

HMDI v1.4 (2009): 3840×2160p30

HMDI v2.0 (2013): 3840×2160p60

 

Any thoughts?
