Supported resolutions on the Mini
Can the Mini support 1440 x 900 @ 60 hz reolution, I have a ViewSonic VA1912W widescreen monitor and I plan to buy a Mini in the next few days and that is the recommended setting for this monitor.
It really depends on whether your monitor is VGA or DVI. For DVI the max resolution is 1900 x 1200. For VGA it's 1900 x 1080. Both are larger than what you need, so you shouldn't have any problems.
The Mini's graphics output is DVI, but Apple includes an adapter for VGA monitors.
Based on what I found on the ViewSonic site, your monitor is VGA. However, it's best to check your monitor input just to be sure.
DVI inputs look like this:
VGA inputs look like this:

Adjusting the resolution on IPad Mini
I purchased the lightning connector to HDMI adaptor and when I plug my mini into a monitor I cannot get the image to fill the screen. Is there a way to adjust the resolution on the Mini?
I was working on this problem yesterday. Unfortunately there is no way to change the resolution of the image from the iPad. But some Monitors will allow you to zoom the image. Check your monitor controls to see if this is supported. My LG HDTV will not let me fill the screen, however.

Maximum Supported resolution on graphics card???
Does anyone know the maximum supported resolution on the MacBook graphics card? I'd like to see if i could get a cheaper and bigger display than the ones made by apple. Any info would be appreciated.
No, that's just for the internal display.
Here's the info from Apple's hardware documentation
Extended Desktop Mode- In extended desktop mode, the resolution of the two displays can be set independently. In this mode, the maximum external display resolution supported by the MacBook is 2048 x 1536 at 60 Hz for analog displays and 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz for digital displays.
1920x1200 is the native resolution for the 23" Apple display, the 24" Dell display, and probably some others. They work great with Macbooks. -
Will my Airbook (11" late 2010) w/ NVIDIA GeFORCE 320M 256MB using the Mini Display Port to Dual-Link DVI Adapter support the Dell 3007WFHC (30") monitor at full resolution (2560X1600).
Works fine at 1280X800 (with out without MDP DL DVI Adapter) - cannot get any higher resolutionHi ddickson01,
The MacBook Air 11 inch late-2010 model does support 2560 x 1600 resolution on an external display. See this specifications article for reference -
MacBook Air (11-inch, Late 2010) - Technical Specifications
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Just bought Samsung S22B310B computer monitor and hooked it up to my mac mini. I have my mac set to the 1920X1080 resolution but the entire screen (21.5") is not filled. How do fill the screen? it fills the screen on other resolution settings. I have it hooked up regularly and not to the DVI hook up. I'm not a computer savvy person please help!
That monitor supports both (digital) DVI and (analog) VGA connections, so you should not need a converter or use a different adapter.
You should use the Apple Supplied HDMI to DVI Adapter and a (digital) DVI cable to the monitor. -
Which resolution does the new macmini support?
Which resolution does the 2012 mac mini support? Would it be able to power the old 30"Cinema HD display, which has 2560 x 1600 pixels as an optimum resolution?
Apple seem to have had a brain seizure regarding making this information available. If you look at the KB article for the mid 2011 Mac mini model as here
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP632
it does show the required information. If you look at the equivalent article for the late 2012 Mac mini model as shown here
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP659
it does not show the resultions. I would say that the answer is the same, that is the new model supports the same resolutions. What has changed is how many displays it can simultaneously drive (now only 2).
So the answer to your question would be
Thunderbolt port with support for up to 2560-by-1600 resolution
HDMI port with support for up to 1920-by-1200 resolution
Note: If you are using a DVI display with a higher than 1920x1200 resolution, you need to use a Mini Displayport to DVI adaptor, furthermore as before the higher resolution monitors like the 30" Cinema Display need a dual-link DVI adaptor. -
I have a mid 2009 Macbook Pro and i know the Mini-display port does not support audio out but does it support HDMI out? or do i have to buy a Mini-display to DVI and then a DVI to HDMI adapters?
Run MDP to HDMI for picture. Use a cable like this to run sound from your audio out on your Mac to your TV's audio in. That's about all you can do.

I'm using the mini HDMI to connec to a Samsung HDTV. The response is always "Mode Not Supported." Anyone know what to do? Trying to watch TV shows from iTunes on the TV. Thanks, Hugh
Hi Jake,
It's impossible to know without troubleshooting, but it sure sounds like a bad adapter or cable. -
How can I play music on my macbook pro (OSX Lion) through a Pioneer receiver? I've connected them with a mini display port to HDMI cable with audio support bought at the Apple Store, but there's no sound coming through. There are 4 HDMI-in ports on the receiver - BD, DVD, DVR/BDR and audio. In my system preferences for sound, the receiver doesn't show up as an output option. Can anyone please advise. (ps, this is my first time posting a question, so I hope I can find your answers!) thanks, JP downunder
For sound, try the audio output port and connecting to the RCA audio input ports on your Pioneer receiver. Use something like this:

I have mid 2009 Mac Book Pro running 10.9.1. The hdmi mini port no longer supports sound on the Sony TV. This is apparently a change. It no longer shows as an option in system preferences/sound.Any ideas?
The 2009's didn't support sound on HDMI. That came in 2010. Are you sure it ever worked?

iPhone 5 has stopped receiving my e-mails. Can't access anything under Accounts to use any of the resolutions in the support pages.
Did you set up restrictions for changing account info in Settings/General/Restrictions? If yes, disable them and try again to edit your mail account info.

How can I tell if the mini dvi on my 2010 13" macbook pro supports audio?

If it's a post 2009 Mac it supports audio on the HDMI port. See:

How comes the Ipad mini isn't Retina Display if it has the same resolution as the New iPad?
How comes the Ipad mini isn't Retina Display if it has the same resolution as the New iPad?
The iPad mini doesn't have the same resolution as the "new iPad".
iPad 3 & 4 (retina) = 2048x1536 pixels
iPad 1 & 2 (original) = 1024x768
iPad mini = 1024x768
Apple likely didn't put a retina screen in the iPad mini to keep cost down and to have an option to upgrade the iPad mini to a retina screen down the road, in a year or two. It could be however that the pixel density of 2048x768 at 9" poses a problem for the viewer, in that text and features might be rendered too small or too thin for the average buyer/consumer. -
Is the resolution on the iPad mini retina better than any other retina?
The 1st gen iPad mini had the same resolution as ipad 2. Becasue the mini is smaller than the 2 the pixels were denser.
So my question is... Is the resolution on the iPad mini retina better or denser than other retina screens found on other devices?
Thanks
LionelTry resetting the iPad (hold the home and power buttons down until the Apple logo appears).

Can the mini support 16x9 ratio?
ok simple question this one:
I want to use a mac mini as a home theater with my 16x9 plasma screen,
all of my standard macs will produce a 16x10 aspect ratio without any problem,
1920x1200, 1440x900 etc, but with the mac mini do you get an option to display a true 16x9 output?
for instance if I connect my powerbook to my plasma at 1440x900 I either lose the top apple menu and the dock or I have to distort the image to see the whole mac screen, not great!
something like 1440x810 would be optimum (I connect via a standard analogue sVGA connector)
any info would be great, cheersIf you aren't seeing 16:9 options from the PowerBook, you probably aren't going to see them from the mini, either. Whether or not OS X serves up 16:9 as an option is entirely up to the display and the driver data it contains. It sounds like your TV may have shortcomings in this respect.
Often the situation can be rectified using a program like SwitchRes X. If you are serious about getting a mini, you should first download and install SRX on your PowerBook and see if you can get 16:9 to work. If it works with the PowerBook, it will work with the mini.
