I saw that the mac mini late 2014 model, can monitor a 4k display through a HDMI cable, but then it only supports 30Hz screen. So I wonder if I can view a 4k monitor through the thunderbolt and then adapt to HDMI and get 60Hz? Is this possible, or will I only get 2160px by 1440px through thunderbolt?
Mac mini, OS X Yosemite (10.10)

They say that you will get 1080p at 60Hz. and then (maybe) higher resolutions at 24 & 30Hz.
(maybe) depends on the which adapter, cable, monitor or flatscreen tv you use.....
The Displayport interface on the Mac mini does not support MST (Multi Stream Transport) which is required to do 4K at 60Hz. Despite Apple's lack of official notes saying so I would expect that 4K at 30Hz would be possible via the Displayport interface and a Mini Displayport to HDMI adapter, this however of course is the same as the built-in HDMI port so such an exercise has little point.
The Thunderbolt port on the 2104 Mini only support 30 Hz at 4K
Using 4K displays and Ultra HD TVs with Mac computers
Can the Mac Mini late 2014 monitor 4k displays via Thunderbolt?
