Mac Mini to plasma

Hello All, seriously considering purchasing a Mac mini, but wondered if others could answer a few questions:
1. What is the display like going from the mini to a plasma for movies, etc
2. Can you stream iTunes from other computers on the network.
3. For movie watching, is the Apple Tv far superior to the mini.
Thanks in advance all,
Pete

You don't need to be a dummy to be stumped by this issue. The best and the brightest have been affected as well. Though you are a Mac noob, hopefully you have some computer smarts. If so, I think the best thing for you to do is get/borrow a second computer and establish a VNC connection between the mini (as the VNC server) and the other computer (as the VNC client). In this way you will be able to see the screen on the second computer that your plasma won't show you. You'll be able to tell a lot from this, like if the plasma is being sensed by the mini, what resolution is being sent to the plasma and you'll even be able to switch resolutions within Display Prefernces on the mini from the other computer. Hopefully, you will find a resolution that lights up the plasma and away you go.

  • Mac mini and plasma

    Hi
    I just purchased a plasma tv and was wondering about getting a mac mini to connect to the display to surf/play downloads.
    However the mac mini would be hidden in a cupboard. Is there an RF keyboard/mouse available?
    Thanks

    Aside from Apple's own Bluetooth keyboard and mouse which will work fine through a cupboard door, almost any cordless keyboards and mice that work off a USB 'dongle' will work perfectly well too - even models such as the Logitech S510 (http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details/US/EN,CRID=2162,CONTENTID=107 10) which are specified for Windows rather than Mac use. Some special function keys on such keyboards often don't work on Macs, but the keyboard and F keys, and the mice, mouse buttons and scroll wheels do.

  • New mac mini and Plasma TV

    Just wondering if the new mini can be used with my new 43 inch plasma TV to play HD movies??

    As long as the Plasma has DVI or HDMI input and doesn't need digital resolutions greater than 1920 by 1200 pixels you are good to go.
    The tech specs also say the new mini supports coherent digital displays up to 154MHz; supports noncoherent digital displays up to 135MHz - if that floats your boat better than the other details...

  • Want to run a Mac Mini into a 50" Samsung Plasma screen TV...will it work?

    The TV is a Samsung PN50B850 Plasma screen with a VGA input: http://reviews.cnet.com/flat-panel-tvs/samsung-pn50b850/4505-6482_7-33490381.htm l
    Hee are the tech specs: http://ecoustics-cnet.com.com/flat-panel-tvs/samsung-pn50b850/4507-6482_7-334903 81.html?tag=mncol;psum
    From what I can tell it should just plug right into the VGA input on the TV...but my question is am I going to have any issues with resolution or anything like that?
    Also, from the pictures it looks like the DVI to VGA adapter that apple offers is only like 3 inches long? Do they make them longer than this? I had planned on mounting the TV on the wall above my fireplace on an arm that tilts and swings out about 2-3 ft and just sitting the Mac Mini on the mantle...anyways I didn't want to go away on vacation, have my mom come over, adjust the TV, and send my Mac Mini to its untimely death:(

    Could you please tell me the exact settings you have on your TV and your mac.
    Under what menu are you selecting PC DVI?
    What resolution and other settings do you have your mac set to?
    Currently I have mine setup like so:
    Mac Mini with mini dvi to dvi adaptor then a cable dvd to hdmi.
    I then have that hdmi plug into port 2 of my tv that says (HDMI/DVI on it.
    On the mac I have resolution set to 1920 x 1080 and i have overscan ticked.
    The picture is OK but up close i would not say it is perfectly crisp (especially text) but from a about 6 feet away it seems fine.
    Is the text on your screen pin sharp?
    Thanks in advance

  • Mac Mini worked at first with Haier 42" plasma - now won't.  Please Help!

    I'd be interested in any resolution here. Here's my story:
    I have a Mac Mini model MA723LL/A and a Haier P42LV6-T1 42" HDTV plasma with VGA and HDMI inputs. I first attempted to hook the Mac to the plasma TV using the DVI->VGA adapter that came with the Mac. I got no image at all on the TV, and the TV claimed 'No Signal'.
    Then I used a DVI->HDMI adapter, and hooked the Mac to the TV thru the HDMI port. I got a picture and was happy. I setup iTunes, got the wireless working, surfed the web a bit and all was OK except the resolution seemed wonky. So I opened the Mac's settings panel to adjust the resolution, and as soon as I opened the settings panel, the screen went blank, with the TV claiming 'No Signal'. I shut off the Mac and rebooted, and from that point forward, what happens is this:
    press On Button->
    Apple Boot Screen->
    MacOS 10 loading->
    desktop For About 1 millisecond->
    screen goes blank with TV claiming 'No Signal'
    I hooked the Mac to my Dell 20" LCD monitor thru the monitor's DVI input and got a great picture. I tested all the resolution settings, and everything was fine. I have tested the Mac on the TV with all available resolution settings and it's always the same story (see above for sequence)
    I'm kinda at the end of my rope. The Mac seems to be changing something on its video output at the end of its bootup, but I have no clue what. Has anyone seen anything like this? Any advice at all?

    Try what Apple recommends and see if that helps:

  • Problem Mac mini G4 with Panasonic 52" Plasma using s-video (composite)

    I am upgrading my mac mini but until then I'd like to watch some movies on my new Panasonic 50" Plasma (TH50PZ80U). The first I connected them together using a DVI-to S-Video adapter it worked but with low resolution (can't remember). The resolution was fine for movies but not reading. When I tried to increase the resolution the screen became all grey and black (like when there's no the TV channel in the old days). I tried all of the following but nothing has worked:
    1) Played with the mouse for an hour to try to change the resolution but kept starting new programs instead
    2) Connected to my apple display cinema, change resolution to the minimum, and then reconnected it and nothing
    3) Asked a friend to bring his laptop to do screen sharing but my OS 10.4.11 doesn't support this functionality
    4) Tried starting in safe mode and it won't start in safe mode. It gets stock on the gray apple screen at launch
    5) Tried getting an HDMI cable but this mac mini is not strong enough for the plasma screen. It kept going black after a few minutes
    6) Tried using keyword shortcuts with SwitchResX but I couldn't seem to find the right sequence.
    Remember that I tried to the above blind since the screen was all blurry.
    Can someone help. Thanks

    +I tried with an HDMI cble, through a DVI adapter, but it seems that my 1st generation mac mini is not powerful enough for that. It comes out at first but as soon as I start any application, it looses signal+
    I'll ask again; what happens if you try starting in Safe mode connected by HDMI? I understand that with a normal start and running 1080p, the mini is not necessarily stable. But if you start safe, or start normally, and quickly change the resolution to something lower than 1080p, the mini should be "powerful enough" to run the Panasonic at 720p for example. That should not present a problem.
    If you really just want to get back to using the S-Video interface at 640 x 480, you should be able to throw out the display preference files to get back to a clean start. That usually works. Try the following; in /Library/Preferences find the file com.apple.windowserver.plist and throw it in the trash or drag it to the desktop. Find also in /Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences/ByHost the file com.apple.windowserver.xxxxxxxx.plist where xxxxxxx is a string of letters and numbers and yourusername is the name on the main user account and throw that in the trash, too (or drag it to the Desktop). Then restart and see if function returns to S-Video when connected to the Panasonic.

  • Panasonic 50" Plasma TH-50PH9UK - can mac mini display be set to 1366X768

    My mac mini is connected to a Panasonic high definition plasma display (TH-50PH9UK) using a DVI to VGA adapter and a VGA connector. The native resolution for the display is 1366 X 768 but this is not an option under the display settings in system preferences? How can I match the native resolution?

    No guarantees, but try this (the following precedure must be performed with the Panasonic attached to the mini):
    Download and install SwitchRes X Control Panel (note: not the full version called Universal Installer). Open SRX and with the "Resolutions" icon highlighted in the main window, click on the "Custom" button on the button bar. Click on the "+" in the lower left corner of the window to add a new resolution. A second window will open filled out with timing values of the current timing in use. Make sure the "Use simplified settings:" check box does not have a check mark in it. Fill in the boxes with the following data:
    Pixel clock: 86.18
    Horizontal Active: 1366
    Horizontal Front porch: 40
    Horizontal Sync width: 96
    Horizontal Back porch: 280
    Vertical Active: 768
    Vertical Front porch: 3
    Vertical Sync width: 14
    Vertical Back Porch: 21
    Put check marks in "Positive sync." for both Horizontal and Vertical sync.
    You should observe that the Horizontal Scan rate is around 48.36 kHz and the Vertical Scan rate should be around 60 Hz. Click on the OK button and and then the Apply button. Quit SRX and follow the directions for saving and restarting.
    When the mini is restarted, open Displays preferences and the newly created timing should now show up. Select it and hopefully you will get a native resolution output. Good luck.

  • Mac Mini + PC Workstation + Plasma TV

    In my living room, I have a 1.83GHz Intel Mac Mini hooked up to my plasma TV and I'm using it as a media server. I use an Apple wireless keyboard and a wireless Mighty Mouse to control the Mini.
    In a room across my house (everything is networked with wi-fi) I have a quad core PC Workstation with 8GB of RAM and a 1GB video card running Windows XP. I use the PC to work in Autodesk 3ds max, which is a Windows-only application.
    I'd like a to have some sexy way to work on my PC workstation from my couch. I'd like to somehow access it through the Mini so I can do my 3ds max work on my plasma TV.
    I considered using Synergy (http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/) but that is only a keyboard and mouse sharing solution. I also want to share the display (my plasma TV). Also, I don't want to physically move the PC into the living room if I can avoid it. I considered physically hooking both machines up to the TV using DVI>HDMI and just between switching TV inputs depending on what computer I want to use, but I don't like that...it's too limiting. Maybe I want to listen to iTunes on the Mini while I'm working on the PC.
    So now I'm thinking that Remote Desktop or VNC might be the best way to go. Something that is absolutely critical is that I make HEAVY use keyboard shortcuts in 3ds max on my Windows XP machine. So I'm concerned that no matter what solution I end up using, I may have problems using the Apple wireless keyboard and wireless mighty mouse to do professional, hot key-intensive work in the Windows XP environment.
    Given the situation, what would you recommend?

    I'd like a to have some sexy way to work on my PC workstation from my couch. I'd like to somehow access it through the Mini so I can do my 3ds max work on my plasma TV.

  • Mac Mini and Samsung 42" Plasmas

    I'll be purchasing a Samsung HP-T4234 plasma soon and have noticed it will handle a PC signal of 1024x768. I realize it's not a very sharp resolution, but will it fill the entire widescreen? IT won't need to be stretched, will it? I'm not too sure of these types of things, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    I am using the Samsung 204B, not sure if this is similar. I have an XP Pro machine (older) and my Mac Mini (current version) on a DVI KVM switch. I noticed if you loose the connection to the Windows PC I have to restart the computer to get the display back.
    My video for the Mini would drop out every so often. I had to download SwitchResX and set up a custom setting of 1600x1200 with a 135MHz pixel clock for the monitor to work well with the Mini.

  • Plasma with mac mini?

    I just bought a Panasonic TH-42PX75U plasma, and i was thinking in buying the mac mini and connect it to the plasma. I´d read many reviews about problems using plasma TV as PC monitor. I don´t know how much of it is true. Any advice? Thanks in advance

    Hopefully, someone with that exact model TV will respond. Otherwise you are right to be cautious. Depending on what it is you want to do with the mini while connected to the plasma, the types of issues you possibly face are:
    - Anamorphic screen; many plasmas have non-square pixels which can result in a distortion that may not be correctable when hooked up to a computer.
    - Overscan; a lot of TVs force an overscan condition. This means critical parts of the OS X desktop will be out of view, like the menu bar, which will appear to be off the top of the screen as if under the TV's bezel.
    - Non-native resolution; modern computer monitors work best when there is a one-to-one relationship between pixels in the graphic card's memory and pixels on the screen. Anything other than this condition is accomplished using "scaling" to fit the memory map to the screen. This never looks as good as one-to-one mapping, also called running at "native resolution." Computer monitors are designed to run native. TVs rarely are, especially plasma TVs.
    - Black screen/no video; this is a worst case. You get nothing. Total incompatibility. This usually doesn't happen but the alternatives (see all of the above) might make you wish it did.
    Ideally, if you have other computers at your disposal today, try making a connection to your new TV. If you have success using other computers and are happy with the result, then chances are the mini will work just as well. If you are not happy when making a computer connection to your TV, don't expect the mini to be any better.

  • Mac mini with a Panasonic 42" plasma screen

    I am new to macs to bear with me.
    I am trying to connect a mac-mini to a Panasonic 42" plasma screen (TH-42PX20)
    According to the Panasonic manual the max resolution is 1024x768 with a 16:9 aspect ratio. The plasma screen connects to the mac with a D-Sub 15P connector (standard PC)
    I select 1024x768 screen resolution and the image seems clear but there are things off the screen (top menu, bottom dash board). Is there a way to change the ascpect ratio? I tried the detect monitors option but that caused the screen to "white out" and never return with an image.
    thanks,
    wazzu62

    There is are a couple of programs available to solve your problem. One is "switchhresx". You can download it from "Versiontracker.com". There are lots of posts in this forum regarding its use and setup. Just do a search on "switchresx" and take your pick.

  • Using 1.920 x 1.080 pixel panasonic plasma screen with Mac Mini Intel

    Do you know if i can connect a mac mini
    with a belkin "dvi to hdmi" cable
    to a panasonic plasma screen with a 1.920 x 1.080 resolution (screen 42 inches)?
    I thought the screen was too big, but some friend told me that the resolution i supported by the mac mini.
    thanks.

    Yes, specs-wise the TV is able to be driven by the Mac mini both via DVI and VGA.

  • Best Resolution Mac Mini - Plasma Hookup?

    Hi there.
    I have a 42" LG 42PX3DCV Plasma Television, which is ED, rather than HD. Right now, when I hook a computer up to it, I use my Macbook Pro, a DVI->HDMI cable, and a MiniToslink->Toslink cable.
    It looks great!
    I now have a Mac Mini Core Duo as a permanent addition to the Plasma, and I'm wondering if I should instead hook it up via the RGB 15-Pin option that is located on the back of the Plasma.
    Will this give the same results as the DVI-HDMI?
    Thanks!

    While I would suspect the HDMI to work better the only way you're going to know is to try it.

  • Mac Mini Overscan issue 10.6.2 Samsung 42" Plasma

    I connected my 2009 Mini OS10.6.2 to my PN42A450 via HDMI.
    The top menu bar is mostly missing, so I then tried a using SwitchResX to make some modifications based on a few postings that I found online. The program then wouldn't let me save my settings once I figured I was getting close (I guess since it is a 10 free trial, and I had to reboot ten or so times) So I am still standign with the same issue.
    I am willing to purchase SwitchResX, if I know for sure this issue can be corrected with my model TV.
    I've seen the tons of posts where other people have the same issue on other TV brands or sizes. So I am just looking to see if anyone else found a resolution to this issue, and if it was by using SwitchResX, what the custom settings used were for the Front Porch, Back Porch, etc....
    Any information would be helpful, I really purchased this with the intent to use it with the TV, and not another monitor.

    Before messing with the resolution of the TV, you should first just try to change one setting on the Mac Mini:
    Click on SYSTEM PREFERENCES and then DISPLAYS and the OPTIONS tab, and unselect OVERSCAN. That was enough to resolve the issue fully for me on a MAc Mini 2009 and Sony HDTV.

  • Mac Mini '09 incompatible with older flat panel TV's?

    I just bought a Mac Mini '09 and tried to hook it up to an old (2002) Sony Plasma 32" TV. I am using the mini-DVI to S-video/composite video adapter. I get a "no signal" response from the TV, indicating that the Mini and the TV are not communicating. My black '06 MacBook is able to successfully connect to the Sony TV using the exact same adapter and cable combination. The TV only has component video, s-video, and composite video inputs -- no digital inputs.
    I spoke with an Apple Care person, and she and I agreed that there is likely a compatibility issue with the new Mac Mini's video card and older TV's. I have also seen it suggested that the new Mini's DVI port will not pass on an analog video signal. Is there any fix for this, either a driver or a cable adapter? Would one of the display manager programs (SwitchResX, etc.) be helpful? Do I need to get a new TV?

    It sounds like the new Mac Mini has HDCP enabled (as it is on the new MacBooks and MacBook Pros).
    This is a kind of copy protection, and will not allow HDCP protected content to be played on an analog source.
    A tool like http://www.hdfury.com/ will take the HDCP stream, and convert it to an analog stream. It's perfectly legal.. and will extend the life of older TV's (manufactured before 2002).
