Hi.
about 2 weeks ago, I bought new mac mini 2014 and dp - vga connector.
I have mitsubishi rdt179s lcd monitor.(17') , d-sub port + dvi-d port.
I must to use d-sub port.
when I open display menu, my monitor spec is different.
only " display 13.9 800x600 ".

ty for your reply. but sorry.
switchresx did not fix this problem.( ' unknown ' monitor in switchresx )
My problem is ' mac mini 2014 detect wrong display with dp to vga connector '.
My monitor is rdt179s 17inch and best res 1280x1024. but mac mini detected only ' 13.9inch display / 800 x 600 '
hey egoiCat I had a similar problem with my Mac Mini 2006 model running Yosemite 10.10.3. This might be a bit late but i think i solved my issue.
In System Preferences>Displays>Display
- select the 'Scaled" option
- hold the "Option" key. It will give you a larger list of screen resolution choices.
- you should be able to select 1280x1024.
In "About This Mac", under Displays tab, it still says 13.9-inch (800x600) but I was able to change the resolution on the screen.
Let me know if that works.
The best solution is get the miniDisplay Port to DVI adapter or the HDMI to DVI adapter and a good DVI cable.
