Q: Mac mini initial setup monitor
Hi
I have a mac mini arriving and will be using an iPad as monitor with the 'duet' app. I need to obviously set-up with another external monitor prior to this. My question: can setup be completed by just plugging in the mini to an hdmi tv port as a temporary set-up monitor? or is the mini not 'plug in and play'.
I have a fairly new Samsung tv and slightly older LG tv but both have hdmi.
Unfortunately, I live in a remote area so it is a 4 hour round trip to purchase or borrow a monitor. I will do this if needed but would prefer not if possible. I searched the communities and know this answer would be somewhere but have had no luck locating it. Forgive my naievety with such a simple question and thank you in advance for any assistance.
