I have a 24" flat panel monitor with HDMI connector and built in speakers. Will this work as my monitor and speakers with the MAC Mini?

It will "work" but I would highly recommend against it. I started off this way the and the picture quality was terrible. The sharpness and contrast was too bad to actually use. This was the case with straight HDMI from Mini to monitor and also with the Display Port -> HDMI to monitor. I ended up using the supplied HDMI -> DVI adapter and the monitor looks great now. Do some Google'ing on the topic and you'll see people saying the same thing. Not sure why it is, but HDMI looked horrible.

Yes it will ! You need to get a good quality HDMI cable, FROM THE MINI TO THE MONITOR...that's all, the HDMI cable will conduct audio and picture at the best quality possible, enjoy.

Yes, my wife has this Monitor connected to a Mac Mini, you just may need an adapter.

I bought this exact display to use with an Apple Mac mini 2008 model and it worked out perfect! The MacBook 13in I think haas a mini DVI port and Cinema Display has a regular DVI cable so if u have an adapter mini dvi to standard DVI then it should work fine! You can find one on amazon also!

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!

Margaret, I'm sorry, but I don't think that will work. This Mac mini needs a display to work properly. Great luck!

If you have an HDMI out - then yes directly. You have a DisplayPort/Thunderbolt - then get a DisplayPort-HDMI adapter - then you can connect it, this is how I connected my parents mac mini to their HD TV. Sound is separate in this case.If you are also looking for sound to travel - The best route may be use an AppleTV and send your display to the AppleTV.

Yes, as long as you have a mini dvi port (macbook 4,1 should have) You will also need the hdmi cable of course, and remember that this port does not transmit audio, so you will need a solution for audio as well (audio will still come from either macbook speakers, or from the headphone port)

This display does not display full resolution with MiniDisplayport, MacBook Airs are out of luck. You must use HDMI to HDMI.

Yes. This is exactly what I do with my set up. Old mac mini (dvi+optical audio) to Monoprice box. Then Monoprice hdmi out to the TV and optical (or analog) audio out to the stereo. Note that it is unlikely that the HDMI audio and the optical or analog audio will be in sync (depending on the devices they connect to).

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.

Here is the adapter to make it work with the Mac Mini, via USB (DisplayLink DL-165 Chip) or you can do a VGA to DVI or VGA to HDMI, there is so many adapters to make this monitor work with anything and everything.

I have no idea if it will work with a mac mini. I don't see why it wouldn't work, I can't say for sure because I don't have a mac. I've used hdmi between my android tablet and tv with no problem, and also between windows and my tv to watch huly, netflix, and hbogo, so I don't see why it c/wouldn't work with mac.

It depends on the computer, I am a PC guy and don't know a lot about Macs. I would check manual and see if it supports audio inline. If so, no extra cables will be necessary!

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

I have this cable and its great. I am using it on a 2012 mac mini. the max resolution i can get out of the HDMI port is 1920 x 1200 though.

Macs built before 2010 don't support sound transmission through their Mini Display Port outputs. However, the cable itself does transmit sound if your computer supports it.

Hopefully someone else with more knowledge of Macs and their Thunderbolt connection can answer. I'm not sure since I use this monitor with a Windows 7 Home Premium box with the supplied cable.
