Mac - Compatible LCD Monitors: WOULD THE ViewSonic Monitor be Compatible with A MAC MINI?

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.

It depends on which model you have. Check with everymac.com to find specs about your video card and if it can handle duel or mirroring. The lower end macbooks use shared RAM as VRAM... I don't believe those can handle powering an external LCD, but check that site it should have info.

This monitor has BOTH VGA and DVI, and I am currently running it on a Mac Mini via DVI. If your iMac supports an additional DVI out I can't see why it wouldn't work.

Yes, and easily. I connected my old LCD monitor to my Mac. It extends the desktop.

It should be but you'd likely need another adapter since most macs output using mini displayport.

I don't have a mac, but I don't see why not. I'm on Windows 7 and I am running 5 monitors (laptop, HDMI, VGA, and 2 AOC monitors) from my Alienware...

Yes, it should work using 10.6. Just download the driver from http://www.displaylink.com/support/mac_downloads.php.

Yes this monitor is compatible with most MACs. For example, the Macbook Air uses a Mini DisplyaPort(Thunderbolt) and the Ultrasharp supports DisplayPort, VGA and DVI-D, so any Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort, VGA, or DVI-D adapter will work. You will just need to buy the appropriate conversion adapter, which depends on your MAC video DVI input for example, to plug into either the DisplayPort (best), DVI-D (good) or the VGA port (worst) of the monitor.

If your Mac accepts dual monitor output, which I'm not sure of, then it should be able to. Are you planning to connect a notebook or desktop?

Nope, this will work with any Mac Computer that has a Thunderbolt/Mini Display Port.

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!

There is a Display Port to Mini Display port cable so ---&gt; mDP to macbook, DP to monitor, walla 4k goodness, make sure your macbook is late 2013 for 4k to work, it will only work @ 30hz under mac os, but will run fine @ 60hz in windows via bootcamp,

Yes, it will work via the Mini-display port to Display port cable that is included. Depending on what version of OS X you are using, you might have some issues with color and sharpness. OS X 10.10.2 is working the best at the moment.

I only have Macs. So yes to macs. From my experience it's no different then hooking up a second monitor. Pc should also work fine.

Let me tell what I am using this for. I have a new ViewSonic High Resolution Monitor (1080P) with a HMI input and have the Fosmon Smart HDMI switcher connected from my Mac Mini on Port 1 and an HP Windows 7 computer connected to Port 5 and an HDMI cable connected from the Fosmon Switcher to the ViewSonic monitor and I can manually switch between either computer by pressing 1,2,3,4 and then to 5 or as I prefer, to use the remote to press between 1 (Mac) or press 5 and switches immediately to the PC. The HDMI carries the sound as well and there is no loss of quality in picture or sound with this unit. The best bet for this purpose, hands down! Let me tell what I am using this for.

It should, the mini displayport should plug right into the Mac7,1. My issue was these were ineffective with a certain video card I had purchased for my computer.
