The 2014 Mini is:

Thunderbolt digital video output
  • Native Mini DisplayPort output
  • DVI output using Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter (sold separately)

    Thanks, but that doesn't explain how to hook up 2 monitors to a Mac Mini.  I was hoping to have to avoid buying a Matrox DualHead2Go.

    Sweet.  Thanks so much, I wasn't sure what the best way to go for adapters was!
