is this a good monitor for the mac mini?

So, when I ordered this, it was only available through Amazon from 3rd parties. I found that what was shipped to me was a Korean domestic version that, strange as it seems, was only capable of showing the display menus and messages (messages like no signal being received by the display, etc.) in Korean. After talking at some length with LG product support, I ended up returning the product.

Yes, you can use this with a Mac Mini. It has HDMI, DVI, and 15 Pin VGA. So, it will work without any issues with just about any computer. The Mac Mini will have one of the three connectors above.

Love my cinema displays (have three -- one bought new, two others bought used/refurbed thru Amazon). Just be sure the display you buy has the proper video connector for your MacBook -- I can't remember the year but at some point they changed the connector from the Cinema display to the PC to the mini connector plug (rather than an HDMI or DVI).

Yes, it is. I actually have two of these monitors connected to my MacBook Pro Retina. Of course you'll need Apples VGA adapter though.

I use this monitor with my MacBook Pro. I had to buy a Thunderbolt/mini-display to HDMI adapter (or Thunderbolt to DVI, or Thunderbolt to VGA) but the expense was minimal and well worth it.

All that matters is how your connecting it. If I know my macs, you either have a Mini-DVI or MiniDisplay Port port. Regardless of which, you'll need an adapter to get the output to be DVI or HDMI, depending on the monitor your buying. Once you have the correct wires, it should work great. The only caveat I can think of is the graphics card inside your mini. Unless you have a really old mac, it should be able to output to the monitor's native resolution.

Yes. It has two hdmi ports. I believe the mac mini has at least 1 hdmi out port so you should be ok.

Not sure about pre-intel. I have a 3-monitor set-up on 4 different mac-mini's in our sales office. At times the display link can be flaky but for the most part they were great. Be sure to update the firmware.

Yes, it works great with my 2012 (Core i7 version) Mac Mini. You will need a Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable/adapter to get maximum performance. This one works great for me: Cable Matters Gold Plated Mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt Port Compatible) to DisplayPort Cable in White 6 Feet - 4K Resolution Ready

We use this with a 2012 macbook pro that has an intel HD 4000 graphics card (same as the latest mac mini's) and it works fine. I believe you would only have issues if you tried to use it in conjunction with a second monitor. As a solo monitor it should be fine. You will however probably want a mini display port to display port adapter cable. That has worked well for us.

This monitor works great with a MBP. I have both for work, the only other thing I had to purchase was a DVI to HDMI cable (you could opt for an adapter instead). I plug it in and use it as my main monitor. I was so impressed I bought the 24" version to compliment my iMac at home.

Should do. Double check https://www.apple.com/au/mac-mini/specs.html - says that it has a mini display port

I use a Mac Pro desktop with Radeon Graphics and two 30" Dell U3011 displays.So, I can not relate to the question per se. On the positive side, these displays seem to be very accurate, and with AWESOME resolution.On the negative side, sometimes one of the displays stays off-line after "Sleep" and needs a reboot, which I'd attribute to the operating system or the Radeon Card.Overall, I'd give it a 4.75 rating out of five.

This is really late and you probably already picked one but, if you insist on getting a Mac then get the regular Mac mini. Otherwise I would recommend the newer Dell Zino HD ( only because of the better graphics) or ASRock(a branch of ASUS)'s line up of small form factor computers. Their Vision 3D model has intel's more powerful and more energy efficient Core-i series versus the 4 year old Core 2 series used in the Mac and has Nvidia's new GTX 400 series versus the older GTX 300 series in the Mac, along with 1GB of dedicated memory versus the 256MB of shared memory for the graphics cards. That would be good if you're using multimedia software that uses hardware acceleration like Adobe. The ASRock computers also come with USB 3.0 for faster file transfers and Blu-ray, if that means anything to you.

Highest resolution I've used is 2560 x 1440... I have it hooked up to a 27" Thunderbolt Display. But I know you can "daisy chain" at least two thunderbolt displays together with a cable. No VGA out of the Mac Mini, if that's what you're asking.

I'm using the cable and the monitor (dell u2713hm) at 2560x1440 (which is the highest resolution). I'm not using it with a mac mini, but the cable supports it.

False. There is a known incompatibility with this monitor and the newer Mac OS on desktop. A driver or third party solution is what I'm inquiring about.
