Mac Mini screen resolution

Does anyone know how I can adjust the screen output on my mac mini to fit a Samsung 40 inch HD TV?  Thanks!

What is the resolution of the TV?
How are you connecting it to the TV?
What model MIni do you have?
What resolution shows/displays now?

  • Mac mini screen resolution not synced with monitor

    Hello! I have a Mac mini at home, equipped to an hp w2408h monitor via HDMI cable. Recently, I went to my friends' house with my Mac, plugging it in to their projector and playing Minecraft. However, I had to adjust the screen resolution, and once I got back and set everything up again, the monitor said I need to 'adjust screen resolution'. Is there any way to reset/sync/calibrate the resolution to the monitor, or do I have to go back and readjust the settings? Thanks! :3

  • Mac Mini max resolutions for 2 screens?

    Hi all. I have the latest Mac Mini and I'm currently running a Samsung 24" at 1920x1080 from the Mini Displayport socket via a DVI adaptor, and also a second display at 1280x1024 from the HDMI socket via DVI adaptor.
    I'm looking to upgrade the Samsung to a screen that's 1920x1200 resolution - I'm assuming the Mini can handle this slight increase but I can't find specs anywhere for this. Would it even run a 2560x1600 screen alongside the 1280x1024 one?
    Many thanks in advance.

    The > Mac mini (Late 2012) - Technical Specifications doesn't clearly state what the maximum resolution for each output is.
    Funny part is, that the Spec's for the previous Mac Mini 2010 and 2011 models does.
    One would think that they are the same? Unfortunately that would be pure speculation and contrary to the ASC Terms of Use.
    On that note: Your best bet might be to > Contact Apple Support and get some clarification.

  • Mac mini monitor resolution

    Hello,
    I bought my mac mini today ( 2.6GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 - Intel Iris Graphics - OS X Yosemite ) I connected using the DisplayPort DVI cable to my Viewsonic vx992 monitor. I have been using this monitor for my Windows XP which used to give me 1280x1024 resolution.
    When I connect the new Mac to my screen is work but I with poor monitor resolution .. It's 1280x1024 but poor not clear
    I'v been used this monitor with Windows with the same resolution and the monitor resolution was excellent with Windows.
    I connected the Mac with Samsung Smart TV via HD cable .. The monitor resolution is excellent
    This is the converter that I used:
    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007KB0EGC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF 8&psc=1
    Now, I'm conflict .. Is the problem with the convert that I'v been used or from the monitor ??

    Thanks again .. and please tell me what's the best HDMI converter to DVI if you know about it.

  • Mac mini screen res changes through gcs634u

    I have a mac mini and use it via a 2port Iogear kvm to a HP2408 @1920x1200 resolution. I just bought a new 4port Iogear 634u but when i connect the mac it changes the resolution to 1280x1024 and does not give me the option to do 1920x1200 at all. If i connect the monitor directly or thru the 2p kvm it works just fine... any ideas ?

    Hi, only idea I have is from some reviews...
    The device doesn't seem to consistently and reliably relay accurate EDID information from the monitor
    It has managed to negatively impact the monitor - as much as I have messed with the settings, the left edge of my screen is off the monitor.

  • Mini screen resolutions on a Samsung 32" LCD?

    Can anyone tell me what screen resolutions (pixel width x pixel height) would be available to a Mac Mini connected to a Samsung SyncMaster 320P 32" LCD?
    A listing of the monitor, which includes "native" and "supported" resolutions, is available here...
    http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=6559&A=details&Q=&sku=415646&i s=REG&addedTroughType=categoryNavigation
    ... but I haven't found any documentation online about what a Mac Mini, specifically, can push on such a monitor.
    Thanks for any info you can provide!

    Thes best I can tell you is that on my monitor and based on what some others have posted with their flat screens you should have the full range of resolutions available to you with VGA. The HDMI may or may not give you all of the same choices. (as on mine where the highest resolution is only available with overscan) When i first set up my system it automatically went to 1600x900. I do not recall if it was different when hooked up to VGA, it was too long ago.
    There are a number of threads on here with different people using different size and model flat screens, with various successes and failures. Should you run into a problem when you do get to hook up the system (hopefully you won't!) it would be worth checking out those threads as well. Maybe even do a little reconnaissance and bookmark a few of the threads after doing a search so you don't have to do it last minute. I know, the threads are too numerous to count but sometimes a little advance research can go a long way when you are pressed for time.
    Good luck, let us know how you make out.

  • HP w2207h with Mac Mini screen clipping trouble?

    Hi,
    My HP monitor is connected to the Mac Mini using the HDMI cable. The monitor seems to almost be working right. The only problem is the edges of the screen are cut off in the monitor. The Apple menu bar is completely cut off at the top and part of the Dock is cut off at the bottom. I have cycled through every resolution available in the Display settings in the Systems Preferences. I have also tried to use the physical menu on the monitor with no luck. I cannot seem to fix this. Any solutions?

    You can use HDMI cable with HP w2207h directly,No need for other cable. but please follow these step.
    1.Find LCD tv to set up first step.
    2.Connect HDMI cable to LCD TV(i use Samsung) and adjust to HDMI source.
    3.Open Mac mini.
    4.Open system preference.
    5.Click "display"  you will see that the primary setting is :1680*1050  that  HP monitor did not support.
    6.Unplug HDMI cable from LCDtv (no need to shut down) and plug into HP w2207h.
    7.the screen still blinking, it is ok.
    8.On HP monitor,  Push down button  "Select" and "+"  and the same time and hold it.
    9.Use mouse or down button on keyboard to choose screen resolution to be "1600*900"
    10. Then the screen will not blinking and you can use your lovely HP w2207h
    if you want a high resolution on screen.
    1.Buy new LED monitor that support 1680*1050  resolution.
    2.Buy Mini displayport to DVI for digital signal   Mini>DVI>HDMI.
    Enjoy your MAC. because i am new Mac user with my MAC mini 2011

  • 2011 2.3GHz Mac mini screen flickers

    Hi,
    Guys, I'm really out of ideas. I'm using a mid-2011 2.3GHz Mac mini on a Samsung SyncMaster XL2370HD screen. The flickering seems to begin in the evening, after moderate use during the day. At first I believed it was a result of plugging in my earphones (I use them almost exclusively at that time), but I soon found out it has no effect. It's as if the screen dozes off for some seconds and quickly recovers, when sometimes, after intense flickering sessions, it just goes blank, in which case I have to restart the screen. To be more accurate, it's as if the connection to the Mac mini is lost; the screens works just fine. Most people who'd experienced screen problems used some sort of an Apple screen, so most of the advice given to them is irrelevant to me. I use the included HDMI-to-DVI adapter and a DVI-to-DVI cable. Any help would be much appriciated!

    I use the same connection with my 2010 Mini and an LG display.
    1. Check your connections to be sure that they are all snug and firmly plugged in.
    2. Try a different DVI Cable.
    3. Reset your Mini's PRAM, as per > Resetting your Mac's PRAM
    Then if that does not help, take the Mini and Adapter to your local AASP and have them checked out. as per > Apple - Support - iMac - Service FAQ

  • Mac Mini, screen share setup over network out of the box?

    Greetings,
    Is it possible to screen share and setup a new Mac Mini out of the box? Ultimately, I'm trying to figure out if I really need to purchase a separate screen just to setup the machine.
    Thanks,

  • 2013 Mac Mini Screen Blinking

    New to the Mac Mini world, my mini is less than 10 days old and the screen seems to randomly blink or flicker to a black screen and back to normal in less than a second.  It even does it during the boot up process.  Just checked for updates and it says all updates are done.  It does this via HDMI to my TV.  It also does it when I screen share from my iMac.

    Sorry to report, but a common problem...
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4490924?start=0&tstart=0
    For some the EFI update fixed it, others it didn't
    I'd return it in the 14 day return period.

  • My Mac Mini screen has a blue tint

    I got my Mac Mini around a week ago, one equipped with intel core duo. When I originally turned it on, the screen was fine until a popup came up and said that Mini's with intel processors that a firmware update was required. I followed the instructions and did the update, and when the update was complete the computer restarted and the screen had a blue-green tint to it and has had it since. I've tried to adjust it via the color and brightness on the screen but it's not working.

    First open the Universal Access preference pane and in the 'seeing' tab, make sure that the slider for 'enhance contrast' is all the way to the left. Next, open the Displays preference panel and click on the 'color' tab. The click the 'calibrate' button. This will take you through a color/brightness/contrast set up procedure that may eliminate the problem.
    There are two options in the calibration process, standard, which is the default option and has fewer adjustment screens, and expert, which is selected by checking the box for it on the first calibration screen and offers more adjustments. You can't do any harm with either since any settings you create can be discarded, or profile(s) you save can be deleted or ignored if necessary.
    This won't necessarily resolve the problem, but if not, then it would indicate that there's an issue with the hardware - possibly just the connector on the back of the system, which needs to be fastened really tightly. If you can't readily resolve this, since your system is so new, I'd then suggest you call Apple.

  • Print design and retina mac laptop screen resolution?

    print designer here considering buying a retina mac laptop but concerned about the screen resolution and 2x pixels that i keep on reading about. For preparing artwork for PRINTshould i continue preparing my images at 300dpi at 100@ of the final size? thanks so much, claudia.

    There are only a couple choices. Either return the monitor for a brand name monitor that is Mac compatible, or use third-party software (DisplayConfigX or SwitchRes X) to make up for the Optiquest's display driver deficiency and configure the required 1280 x 1024 timing manually.

  • Mac Mini Max Resolution?;CRT

    I just bought a Mac mini and am looking to buy a CRT. What are the max resolutions the mini can support? (VGA analog, not DVI digital)
    And, if the mini's supported refresh rate for a given size is say 100Hz and the CRT is only 70 Hz, will it still work?

    For DVI it'll go up to 1920x1200. For VGA, probably higher, though I doubt it really matters at that point. For the refresh rate, you can lower it on the Mac, so it shouldn't be a problem.
