Mac Mini - 2 VGA monitors

I am interested in purchasing a new Mac Mini to use with my two VGA monitors.  I understand that one monitor can come out of the thunderbolt port with a converter cable; no problem.  Can the other one come out of the HDMI port?  If so, what cables are needed?

There are two video out ports on the back of the mini. You use each one to drive one monitor. 
(driving two monitors off of one port is a whole other topic) 
One is mini - displayport. That's where the mini displayport to VGA dongle would go. Then connect through with the VGA cable to monitor 1. 
See example: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB572Z/A   Other manufacturers have this as well, for less and should be compatible. (monoprice, check the reviews )
Two is the HDMI port. That's where you need to go from HDMI to VGA with a convertor box.Then connect through with a VGA cable to monitor 2.
I do need to mention that I wasn't aware that that Apple includes a HDMI to DVI adapter actually with the system * .  So if you were to use Apple's adapter you can use a DVI to VGA CONVERTOR actually. (instead of the HDMI to VGA CONVERTOR I said earlier)  So you have two options. It probably costs about the same. Personally I'd probably keep it simple and not use the DVI dongle. Switching connectors and converting there is always a higher risk of some incompatibility.
Hope that helps
* http://www.apple.com/macmini/specs.html
Thunderbolt port with support for up to 2560-by-1600 resolution
HDMI port with support for up to 1920-by-1200 resolution
DVI output using HDMI to DVI Adapter (included)

  • Mac Mini - Two VGA Monitors

    Can I connect two VGA monitors to a Mac Mini. I have one concerted via thunder port and have tried another via HDMI convertor but can't get it to work.
    I have a Late 2012 Mac Mini 4GB 2.5GHZ Intel i5 - OSX 10.9.3 software

    Only by using a USB video adapter like this one:

    As you found out the HDMI port only outputs digital video and VGA is analogue
    Yo might also be able to find a video converter that will convert digital to VGA analog. No cheap

    haha, so now i'm thinking. I'm learning the terminal as fast as i can but there are several lines of codes and commands in there that throws up red flags to me that i don't fully understand. It just looks fishy too me. It would be highly appreciated if someone could just check this out just to tell me that i don't need to worry about it. Or point me in the right direction. I just feel un easy about this. ha.

    You can in fact buy what you want, no need to go with Apple TV

    I have a Mac Mini late-2012 and a Dell monitor (E228WFP). I'm using the Apple supplied HDMI->DVI adapter and a DVI cable to the monitor. No picture issues here. Everything is fine.

  • Adapter for Mac mini to VGA - port with "legs"?

    Hi there,
    I'm planning on buying a mini for my parents (current Windows XP users). They have a perfectly good VGA monitor they want to keep. My question is: which port on the mini will be around longer? Is the mini display port likely to become a standard on macs from here on out? Or is it a better idea to get an adapter that is mini-DVI to VGA?
    thanks for any thoughts, Len

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Speculation is strictly forbidden. Read about new Macs and what to do about them:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1502615&tstart=0
    The DisplayPort makes it difficult to view certain protected video. DVI does not have that difficulty. One would hope that these issues would be overcome with DisplayPort before it becomes the defacto standard, but if it doesn't users are likely to demand DVI to stick around longer. So I would not want to speculate as to the emergence of one technology over another. It really depends on the education of the user, and their demands for something different or to stay with the same.

  • What cable do I need for a mac mini with this monitor

    I want a mac mini for christmas, I have a monitor but it only supports VGA, so what cable do i need to get a mac mini up and running on this monitor
    Thanks

    You will need the mini-DisplayPort to VGA adapter cable, here.

  • Mac mini+hp w2216 monitor (DVI)= problems!

    The strangest thing happened when I moved my Mac mini (G4, 1.42 GHz) from an Apple Cinema Display (no problems) to a new HP w2216 (1680x1050 wide screen monitor). I connected with a DVI cable. At first, it worked. But after a while, artifacts started to develop, especially when moving windows around, until finally the monitor would not pick a signal. Brought monitor back to the store, where it worked flawlessly when connected to a PC using the same DVI cable. Monitor works fine with analog VGA cable!
    Artifacts looked similar to those shown here: http://www.freewebs.com/themagius/minidvipics.htm, so it seems this is some incompatibility between the graphics card of the mini and the HP display. Any other idea how to fix this?

    The old G4 mini has trouble with monitors that have something called a non-coherent TMDS (DVI) receiver. The solution is to use SwitchRes X and build a custom resolution using the CVT-RB setting under the "Use simplified settings" option in the custom timing set up window. This causes the pixel clock to lower to a value where the coherency/non-coherency matter is not an issue. Here are more specific instructions for using SwitchRes X once you have downloaded and installed it. By the way, download and install the lighter version of the program instead of the full version. The lighter version is called SwitchRes X Control Panel.
    Open SwitchRes X and click on the Custom tab. Click the "+" to start a new timing. A window will open with a checkbox near the lower left that says, "Use simplified settings". Check the box and then, in the associated pop-up, select "CVT-RB". RB stands for reduced blanking and it will cause the pixel clock to lower. Enter "1680" for Horizontal Active, "1050" for Vertical Active and "60" for Vertcal Scan rate. Those are the only three boxes you can fill in. The built-in calculator fills in the remaining values. Then follow the directions for saving and restarting. Now in Displays Preferences should be two 1680 x 1050 timings. One is the standard one and one is the custom one you just built. You may not be able to tell which is which so you'll have to try both. One of them should be stable.

  • Mac Mini with Dell Monitor

    I just bought my dad a Mac Mini and gave him my big Apple Monitor (can't remember size but bigger than a small TV:). Well dad says the monitor is too big and wants to use his Dell monitor. I called support and for the first time I couldn't understand the technician, his accent was too strong (I really hope Apple hasn't outsourced their support). Anyway, what I got from the conversation had something to do with a VGA adapter to a DVI? I have looked at the other topics on using non-Mac displays but they aren't really on point. Any help is appreciated:)
    Thanks
    Lisa

    If the Dell monitor has a VGA connector (also referred to sometimes as 'analog'), then all he will need in order to use it with the mini is the DVI/VGA adapter that is included with the mini and therefore should be in the box. I use a Dell display with one of my minis this way and it works just fine.
    If the Dell has a DVI connector (which is digital) then it will plug straight in without the adapter.
    Almost all computer displays in the past 10 years and more use one or other of these connector types - most are VGA.

  • Mac mini and LG monitor: screen is stretched and resolution is awful. Can someone help me fix this please?

    I have a Mac mini (bought in 2013) and the LG 20EN33 screen. I tried filing with the monitor's settings as well as the ones in display but the screen is stretched and the font is quite big. I saw a thread about Switch Res X so downloaded the app, but have no idea where to start to use it to correct issue. can someone help me please?

    You monitor is
    1600 x 900
    and only have VGA input
    http://www.lg.com/africa_en/monitors/lg-20EN33/technical-specifications
    With Switch-X you want to change the resolution to match your monitor's resolution.
    You have an old monitor and it may be best to get a new one that support the the now standard 1080p (1920X1080) resolution.
    I have not ideal how Switch-X works since I use the free version of Display Menu fro the Mac App Store

  • New mac mini w/HP monitor issues - 1st apple

    just purchased mac mini, hooked up to HPw19e monitor via VGA adapter cable. Montior had previously been greta, now font is fuzzy and can't calibrate to fix. If I get a DVI / HDMI cable to monitor instead, will that help?
    frustrated - thanks for any help, new to macs as was looking forward to the out of the box experience...

    1440 x 900 (the native pixel resolution of that display) is the ONLY resolution that will give you a sharp display. Are you using that resolution?
    DVI/HDMI will be a little sharper, but even VGA should be pretty good.  If it's fuzzy, there's a settings problem.

  • Mac mini and viewsonic monitors

    Can I connect a mac mini to an older viewsonic monitor that has vga and dvi connections ports?

    You bet, just use the supplied HDMI to DVI adapter and a DVI cable.

  • Connecting mac mini to USB monitor didn't work!!

    I connected new Mac mini(2007 model) with the latest HP USB monitor. Nothing got displayed on the monitor. Then I need to connect mac-mini to another VGA connector monitor. But still want to know to connect USB monitor with mac-mini as this is my target setup.

    Thank you.
    I used Tiger OS specific drivers from the following link.
    www.displaylink.com/support/mac_downloads.php
    Now it's working but not 100%. Upon starting of the mac-mini monitor works fine. But later when I switch off and switch on the monitor, then it doesn't work. Looks like monitor off -on trigger is not handled in the driver.
    I will check with the driver like you have suggest and then acknowledge.
