So my mom is getting a Mac Mini for her birthday and she already has a nice 22' monitor. The monitor can accept DVI or HDMI (or VGA, but who wants that?). The monitor has a max resolution of 1920x1080. CC88 wrote: guido1953 wrote: I just received a Dell U2713HM. Exceptional clarity over a Dull U model that is 4 or 5 years old. Best Regards, Guido Thank you very much Guido. Are you using it with a macmini via thunderbolt port? I've used my U2713HM with my macbook pro over thunderbolt using a mini DP to DP cable. I now mainly use it with a hackintosh with a DP to DP cable. It's a great monitor, mine was almost perfect out of the box. I initially calibrated it with a color munki but the difference is so slight that I didn't bother when I switched to the hackintosh. Hope this helps.

He'll have to use the thunderbolt/displayport though, it will only do 1080p through the HDMI port.

When I saw this thread, my first thought was that the OP shouldn't be having any problems, because the Asus monitor is a 2560x1440 DisplayPort monitor, and his Mac Mini supports that resolution. However, I have seen threads about color space issues. Apparently the problem happens the most often with HDMI-attached monitors. Something makes the Mac think that an attached monitor is a television, and the Mac then sends YPbPr color data instead of RGB data. I don't know if this is what the OP was referring to when he wrote that the Asus monitor was incompatible with the Mac Mini.

Upon checking the post again, I see that what he wrote was that the monitor was 'useless'; he then made a reference to maybe not getting a wide gamut monitor. Can I buy a wide gamut monitor like the dell u2713h or asus pa279q without any problems?Do the Intel graphics card drive it or not at full colors? AFAIK, pretty much any Mac will drive a wide-gamut display of the appropriate resolution. So, no 4K with your mini, but a standard-res 27' is no prob. I run a wide-gamut NEC PA271 on my 2012 13' MBP. Since nobody's mentioned it yet, I'll point out that good calibration software and hardware is key to getting good color and contrast, even more important than the particular display model where modern IPS displays are concerned. If you're feeling 'enthusiast'ic, I'd recommend a wide-gamut NEC PA272 ($999) with NEC's Spectraview calibration software ($99) and an Xrite i1 Display Pro calibrator ($249). The Xrite comes with its own software which you can use for calibrating other displays (laptop, etc.). With the PA, P and some EA series NEC displays, though, Spectraview does a much better job than Xrite's software. This package is the ne plus ultra of color accuracy. If you want to save some money, NEC's narrow-gamut EA274 is $725. And, if you don't need to calibrate any other displays, you can save a bit more by getting the EA274 with Spectraview software & hardware package for $885 total. If all this is too pricey, I'd look next at a Dell LED-backlit IPS sRGB display and the Xrite i1 Display Pro. It won't render neutrals quite as well (NEC/Spectraview beats most everything else on this), but should give you good print matching nonetheless. Unless you're doing pretty color-critical work, wide-gamut may not be much of a benefit for you. I mean, I'm glad to have it, but I could be perfectly happy without it. The difference is visible to me only when I'm working on images with extremely saturated colors, and even then it's not something I particularly notice. I make and exhibit fine-art prints once in a while and could get by just fine with any decent calibrated IPS display. When my PA271 croaks, I'll probably replace it with an NEC EA275UHD-SV, which is a new 27' sRGB IPS 4K Spectraview display for $949. 4K seems more helpful to me than wide-gamut.
