I ordered this monitor as I noted this could be used with my mac mini, however, the provided cords aren't a match. How did you hook up yours?

I used a DisplayPort to a DVI-D cord. Unfortunately, the HDMI only works out, not in. However, the screen resolution is still nice and sharp.

In fact I ordered 3 of them and am suposed to hook them up to 3 mac minis but when I tried to do that I had the same problem. The solution is to use HDMI cord. It is supposed to be for videos but that will work. I am travelling and still have not hooked up mine. Best of luck

It takes a special adaptor available from Apple. The wire from the monitor plugs into the adaptor which then plugs into a port in the Apple. (it is NOT a USP port). Do not know the names of the adaptor or the port. My Apple is a 15 inch laptop and this monitor is indispensable. Worth the $30 +/- investment.

I had no problem with the cords. The problem that I did have was not finding the right button to turn on. Above the power button on the lower right of the monitor there are 5 very tiny buttons. Pressing the right one got it to work...

The new mac minis have HDMI and Display ports. You can purchase a display port adapter to DVI from monoprice or Apple store. Other option is a HDMI to DVI adpater

I don't have a Mac mini, but I just bought after-market cords and they hooked up fine.

I'm away from home at the moment and I can't remember the names of the different connector options it comes with, but I know that I was able to get a small adaptor from the Applestore and plug it into my oldish MacBook. Get the name of the male options on your Benq cords (I think there were two types), and the name of the type of socket on your mac mini (in the printed manual or online manual), and the Apple people will know what to supply you with. Good luck. David.

You are doing nothing wrong,Mac mini ports don't always work properly.do you have an hdmi port?the standard size on your laptop they work .

As with any periprial, this will use a VGA cable. It is compatible to the MAC, should be visible upon connection and power up. YOu can change the resolution to 1024 x 768, as this is the native resolution on this device.

Since the 5770 has only one display port, and only one hdmi (as well as two single-link DVI ports) I'd suggest hooking one up with the (included, in my case) HDMI cable and one to the display port. The display port on the monitor is full size, so if you're connecting it to a comp with a mini display port, you'd need either a cable from full size to mini, or a regular display port cable with a full-size-to-mini adapter at the end. If you happen to have purchased a recent Mac laptop or Mac Mini, check for an adapter. Depending on the model and when you bought it, a DVI-to-mini display port adapter, or a display port to mini display port, or even an HDMI to mini display port adapter may have been included.

Zoom in on small connector (at right). Compare it to the monitor output on your MacBook. Order it anyway if you're not 100%, return it if it doesn't work.

I have not tried that and I am not a mac person, but In theory you should be able to plug any HDMI source into it. Whether it be a macbook or dvd player should make no difference. Sorry I'm not more help..

You probably need a HDMI to mini-display port, I bought this one for my MacBook when I purchased this monitor as it doesn't come w/ one: Cable Matters Gold Plated Mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt Port Compatible) to DisplayPort Cable in White 6 Feet - 4K Resolution Ready

I have one here for that purpose but have not had time to connect them. I have run a Mac Mini into the Dell and it looks fine except for some issues in the top menu bar. Take a look at the article on the diglloyd blog (Lloyd Chambers is a noted photo reviewer and mac guy) where he tests this exact set up and gives it two big thumbs up as well as set up instructions which are pretty much plug and play.I assume from this that the MacBook has a better graphics card then the Mini.Anyway I just did a 2 second fire it up test to see and yes the image came right up and the menu bar was perfect.

you need a mini DVI to VGA adaptor for macbook. its usually less than 10 dollars. Try this one: http://www.amazon.com/Veecome-Adapter-Cable-Macbook-Round-head/dp/B008FMBLVM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid;=1384209024&sr;=8-1&keywords;=vga+for+macbook

Yes it will. I recently bought a mac mini and ran into the same problem of how to hook up to a vga monitor. This works perfectly and you should have no problem with it!

I don't have much experience with Mac products, but i did find this link for you. https://discussions.apple.com/message/22067174?tstart=0 If you get a DVI converter, make sure it supports Dual Link DVI, as it will not work otherwise.

yeah, but you'll need an adapter and a damn DVI cable since it's not included with the monitor. Adapter I bought for my Macbook pro was only about $15.

Unfortunately I don't have a MacBook Pro, so that was not a concern; but I have mine plugged into a Mac Mini with excellent quality. This monitor ships with both VGA & HDMI cables; if your box can accept these, you're good to go. Power would not be an issue since the monitor has its own AC adapter plug. I think it would be an excellent compliment and good investment for a laptop. The owners manual for this screen is downloadable if you need further assurance. Apple want $1000 for this quality; so I feel I got more than a great deal.

Its an HDMI device. I use Macs not PCs. So, I don't know what kind of output you have. What you need is HDMI!

The Fosmon mini displayPort (MiniDP/mDp) to HDMI works well. The problem I had at first with my MacBook Pro wasthat I did not have my display option set to "Mirror" the computer's screen. Now I watch movies etc. on my HDTV.

I have similar problem with this cable. My Samsung TV used to say "No input signal". But the other converter (BestDealUSA or TOOGOO 3-in-1 display port to HDMI) that I have transmits video signal properly. Thats why I do not recommend ththis cable. As far as audio is concerned I dont think Mac's mini display port outputs sound. You can use the sound speakers from the mac book, or connect audio cables from Mac's audio out to TV's audio input.

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.
