Best monitor for mac mini 2012

I have bought the mac mini 2012 model and a samsung monitor SyncMaster s22B370. The text is looking blurry. You can look at this thread. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4497508?start=75&tstart=0. So I decided to buy another monitor. Can you please suggest a monitor which is working well for you.

I use a Dell Ultra Sharp connected with a Mini Display Port to HDMI adapter. This is the best setup for the least cost out there.

  • Best Monitor For Mac Mini

    Hi all,
    Have a Late 2012 Mac Mini, 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 with 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, and Intel HD Graphics 4000 512 MB.
    I'm upgrading my 17" VGA monitor to a 24" HDMI and wondering what monitor has the best chance of just "working". By that I mean plugging an HDMI into the Mini, and plugging that into the HDMI input of the monitor and it outputs without any issues.
    I'm looking at either:
    LG 24EN43VS Series 5ms HDI Full HD LED
    Asus VE248H
    Samsung S24D300H
    What do you think?
    Thanks!

    I can only speak on the LG and Samsung. I have an LG connected to my iMac and dual Samsung's connected to my Mac Mini. Both make good monitors and it is really hard to tell if one is better than the other.
    In retrospect, both the LG and Samsung models that you listed above, also have DVI-D input connections. So that, if you had a problem with the HDMI connection, you could always use the DVI connection.
    On that, I can not suggest one over the other. Really your best bet is, to go to your local Electronic's retailer and look at them side by side.

  • Best LED TV  to be used as monitor for Mac Mini (Late 2012 model)

    Hi All,
    I am having a mac mini (late 2012 model). Now, I am planning to buy a HD LED Tv from my home. So I would like to know which one will be best suited to be used as a monitor for mac mini so that I can buy a TV which will be used as both TV and Monitor
    --jR

    You'll want something that's 1080p. Best to have one with HDMI input, too. Other than that, let price and warranty be your guide.

    Apple suggest using the > Belkin Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter - Apple Store (U.S.)
    Others folks and reviews, suggest that a > Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Cable works as well.

  • What is best non apple monitor for Mac mini

    What is the best non Apple monitor that is 21.5" for under $200 that can be used with a new Mac Mini?

    I like both my older $200 LG Flatron and newer $160 Samsung SyncMaster monitors. Both have (digital) DVI input, the LG is on the Apple Supplied HDMI to DVI Adapter and the Samsung is on a MiniDisplay Port to DVI adapter.
    Just beware that you can only use one older (analog) VGA monitor on the Thunderbolt/Display Port with Apple's MiniDisplay Port to VGA adapter and you should look at ones that support (digital) HDMI, DVI and/or DisplayPort inputs.

  • Use LED 40" or 50" TV as monitor for mac mini?

    Is this too large of a tv for reasonable desktop use? Resolution is 1080. Would like to also alternate and use the tv as an actual tv. Any advice as I undertake this endeavor is appreciated. Is the screen blurry at all when the display is this large? I have a 27" iMac and would like a bigger display.
    Considering 40" or 50" LED Smart Samsung Full HD 1080 tv.
    Thanks!

    They would be too big to have on the same desk you are sat at but would certainly work, they would be suitable for using the Mac mini as a 'media centre'.
    One issue with many TVs is that they are designed to auto-optimise video i.e. TV or DVD/Blu-Ray type video and are not designed to best work with static text or screen images from a computer. This can mean that even compared to a computer LCD display of the same physical size and resolution the image looks much worse, e.g. fuzzy. If your using the Mac mini as a media centre then this will usually mean video not text is the predominant display and so this will not be a problem, however word-processing, spreadsheets, etc. might look poor.
    An option some people might be starting to consider would be using a 4K TV as a computer monitor as well as a TV. Unfortunately we are not quite there yet. The problems are that all 4K TVs except for a Panasonic one only come with HDMI 2.0 interfaces and no Mac yet made includes HDMI 2.0. All Macs made so far are using HDMI 1.4 which only supports 4K at 30fps whereas HDMI 2.0 supports 4K at 60fps. The Panasonic also has a Displayport interface which could be used to do 4K at 60fps from a Mac - but not the Mac mini. However looking to the future in theory you would be able to use a 4K TV at 60fps and then treat it like a 'retina display'.

  • Best display for mac mini?

    I'm about to purchase a Mac Mini (late 2012 model) but can't stretch to a thunderbolt monitor so was wondering whether a 24inch monitor from samsung or similar would be a good fit. I would like to connect through the HDMI interface, and I want to use the monitor primarily for photo editing.

    If accurate color display is not important to you, like producing photos for print (4 color, etc.) or produce other commercial products, or don't care if color is off a bit, then just about any late model tv or monitor will work.  I'm using a 24" Samsung, about 2 years old and it's decent for basic home use.

  • Is Fusion 1TB upgrade best option for Mac mini 2014?

    I am in the process of finalising the purchase of a 2014 Mac mini. Bearing in mind the once only nature of the purchase, I  am going  for highest spec.
    My question is will the expensive Fusion 1TB option offer best overall performance? Will be used with Thunderbird Apple display.

    At all costs avoid the standard hard drive - it is a huge performance bottleneck. The Fusion drive is fantastic if you have lots of stuff and want to avoid using an external hard drive to store all that stuff. If you have nowhere near 256GB of stuff and don't anticipate taking lots of digital photos, video, or downloading music, then the SSD is a better choice. While the fusion drive provides superior speed compared to the internal drive it cannot match the speed of an SSD once you've added enough data and programs to fill the SSD portion of the drive. (That's a simplistic explanation but accurate none-the-less.)
    When I purchased my 2012 iMac I chose the Fusion drive because I wanted to avoid using an external drive for my data. I'm happy with the trade-off of speed vs size with the iMac and the lack of wires all over the place. Had I not been interested in avoiding the snake nest of wires I'd have chosen the SSD and external drive.

  • Using Acer LCD TV as monitor for mac mini

    Hi
    I'm trying to use an Acer LCD TV (AL2671W) as a monitor for my mac mini.
    The only way I can get it to work is booting the mini when connected to a different monitor then plugging in the AL2671W - this then works fine. If I boot when connected to the AL2671W I receive a No Signal message.
    Any help would be much appreciated!

    If you have a second computer at your disposal that can be networked to your mini, consider establishing a VNC connection between the two. You can then remotely make a resolution selection on the mini while the Acer TV is attached to the mini, even in the absence of a useable screen being displayed on the Acer. Once you have remotely made the selection of your choosing that gives a satisfactory display on the Acer, it should stay that way permenantly.

  • Can i use pc laptop monitor for mac mini?

    I am going to be out of the country for a year - maybe in Africa, most likely in area not well served by technology.  I have to use PC for work so have a think pad.  I also have an ipad and a mac mini.  I really want to take my mac mini (mm) - it bridges a gap between these two.  It's small enough and I can use my bluetooth keyboard for both ipad and mm.  I can only take a suitcase plus backpack...so I am really not gonna haul a monitor.  Is there a way to use PC laptop as display for mm?  Weird, I know but I can only take so much...
    thanks for any help you can give.  cheers

    do you think one of these new USB powered mobile monitors (LED/LCD) might work - toshiba and lenovo both have them.  they say they are compatible with any windows computer - but why not mac?

  • Best webcam for Mac mini core solo?

    What is the best webcam to use for my Mac Mini with an older display - is MacAlly icecam 2 sufficient? and i'm still on 10.4.11. Many thanks for your kind responses.

    I've been looking into webcams for my mini and have noticed that some webcams whilst the video works, the sound doesn't. I have an old webcam which my wife uses on our windows box, and I got it working on my mac using the Macam drivers http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/ The only problem was that the microphone wasn't supported, a recurring trend!! From my investigations the Logitech Quick Cam Vision Pro for Mac seems to be the best available, but it is a bit expensive £89.99 here in the UK.

  • 50-inch monitor for Mac Mini

    Greetings, I am thinking about setting up a mac mini as a iphoto library kiosk in a showroom. The space commands a large monitor and I'm think about a 50" set. Does anyone have advice on a monitor that will work well at this size with the limited video capability of the mini?

    You know, I was very close to purchasing a 40" Sony XBR when the Vizio went on sale at the local warehouse store for $999. After comparing the features and the picture (store only never took an XBR home) we've been very happy with the Vizio. General concensus over at the High Def Forum is the Vizio is great bang for the buck - several who own both say the Sony isn't worth the difference. Anyway, my new Mac Mini looks terrific on it and even my wife is sold on the idea of having the computer as part of the entertainment system. Movies, internet, iTunes, podcasts and other downloaded content now supplement our TV time. Google Earth is amazing at 42".

  • Battery powered monitor for mac mini..

    I'm wondering if there is any battery powered small monitor that i can buy as mac mini monitor..the idea is i can use mac mini while on the go..

    How are you going to power the mini, when you're on the go?
    (You can see where this is going..... for whatever you say to that question, I'm going to say: "use the same power source to power the monitor".)

  • Great CRT Monitor for Mac Mini

    Having purchased a Mac Mini a few weeks ago I was horrified to read all the posts on this site reporting problems with monitors. In need of a new CRT monitor I asked the folks at Mac Zone for a recomendation and then placed an order for the 17" Viewsonic Ultra Brite E70F+ ($130 something).
    When the monitor arrived a few days later I took it out of the box, plugged it into the Mini using the adaptor supplied by Apple and turned it on.
    The rest, as the saying goes, is history! A great monitor and it works with the Mini (or at least My Mini) without a hitch.

    Here's one that may be worth a look:
    HP Compaq Smartbuy LA2206xc Black 21.5" 5ms Widescreen Webcam LCD Monitor 250 cd/m2 1000:1 (static) / 1000000:1 (dynamic) Built-in Speakers - Newegg.com
    Whatever you buy under these many criteria, I strongly suggest you try before you buy.  If that is not possible, get written commitment that all features you must have are compatible with your Mac.
