Best Monitor For Mac Mini

Hi all,

Have a Late 2012 Mac Mini, 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 with 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, and Intel HD Graphics 4000 512 MB.

I'm upgrading my 17" VGA monitor to a 24" HDMI and wondering what monitor has the best chance of just "working". By that I mean plugging an HDMI into the Mini, and plugging that into the HDMI input of the monitor and it outputs without any issues.

I'm looking at either:

LG 24EN43VS Series 5ms HDI Full HD LED
Asus VE248H
Samsung S24D300H

What do you think?

Thanks!

Mac mini (Late 2012), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)

I can only speak on the LG and Samsung. I have an LG connected to my iMac and dual Samsung's connected to my Mac Mini. Both make good monitors and it is really hard to tell if one is better than the other.

In retrospect, both the LG and Samsung models that you listed above, also have DVI-D input connections. So that, if you had a problem with the HDMI connection, you could always use the DVI connection.

On that, I can not suggest one over the other. Really your best bet is, to go to your local Electronic's retailer and look at them side by side.
