The latest Mac mini connected to Dell's U2715F display

Hello guys!


I need some help here. I'm thinking of upgrading my desktop computer, buying new actually. Please, tell me how to connect Mac mini with Dell U2715F display (supports 2560x1600 resolution), should I use mini display port to mini display port cable? Will it work, will it support display 's resolution? I've read different opinions and experiences and got confused.


Thanks a lot in advance!
