    The most coherent instruction available on RUclips, others were unnecessarily meandering and confusing. The connection, as explained cost me £5, so I owe you a pint!

    Thanks for the informative video Mark. So my understanding is you only need to use the USB-C to HDMI adapter if your 2nd monitor does not have a USB-C input. Otherwise a USB-C cable which I am using, connects without any issues from my Mac mini to the 2nd monitor. Cheers

    • @markfrankstechreviews3744
      @markfrankstechreviews3744  2 года назад +2

      The Mac mini doesn't support three monitors, but if you want to add a third monitor you will most likely have to add an extra piece of hardware. (Dell D3100 USB Hub) Check this article out: functionalthoughts.com/how-to-run-a-mac-mini-with-3-monitors/ Also, I can't make any promises on how valid that information is.

  • @ThePonytube
    @ThePonytube 2 года назад +1

    Hey Mark - TY for the useful video. I have a brand new M1 2020 Mini Mac and i have to monitors connected, One direct HDMI and the other through HDM-thunderbolt adapter. Everything works fine even the extended. However, i cannot span one application on both screens. I used to have a MacBook pro with one external monitor connected and i was able to maximize a application and have it spanned to both display. I use VMMare for my work, and i was able to have VmWare use both the MacBook display and the external monitor as one large display However, im not able to do that with my setup on the mini mac, I use the "Use All display" and Full screen settings on VmMare it only maximizes to a single monitor display, not across both like it used to do with my MacBook. Not sure if thats how it is with mini mac or if i'm missing some setting... any ideas ???... thank you again! .. T

    It seems very simple. I have two Fujitzu monitors from 2008. They work via VGA or DVI (1080p Resolution and no HDMI). I am thinking of buying a Mac Mini M2 pro. Do you think these two monitors would work?
    If they would work, how would you set them up?
    Thank you very much.

    On the second monitor, are the USB hubs on the back of the monitor active and usable? I was using thunderbolt to thunderbolt for monitor 1, and HDMI to HDMI for monitor 2 - but was unable to use any peripherals on monitor 2. Can't figure it out!

    will this work if i have a dell monitor and an Imac computer and a mac mini? Meaning i run the hdmi cable from my mac mini to my dell monitor and then run a usb c tu usb c cable from my mac mini to the Imac usb c computer on the back? Do you think that will work or this this only good for pc monitors?

  • @gary-gt-tsang
    @gary-gt-tsang Год назад +1

    Awesome video! If you have two Thunderbolt to HDMI cables, would the dual screen setup still work if you plug each screen directly behind the thunderbolt ports in the mac mini?
    Will both Thunderbolt and USB-C both work interchangeable? They both looked the same but not sure if there's any support issue or restrictions if you use one or the other.

    I have a Mac Mini M1, and it is connected to two Dell monitors. Each time I switch the cursor between the two monitors to use one of them, I have to click to get access to that monitor. Is there an option when the cursor is on that particular monitor that it can automatically recognise and select without clicking twice to select?

      I guess it just depends on what you need them for. If you’re a gamer/you may want to get a 4k monitor(Check Amazon best sellers list for 4k monitors),but for normal use I would stick with 1080p.Here’s the link to the monitors I’m using (they are both 1080p) www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B087QRW81Z/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1
