I have a question about dual monitors for a Mac mini. I just bought an I7/Quad core 2.3 Mini and want to run dual monitors. I read all the threads I could find on it and it seems that:
1) Folks use the HDMI output for 1 monitor
2) They use the TB output for the other
Why is this? I'm hesitant to give up the TB connector and loose the high speed bus it provides. Can't I use one of the USB-3 ports and convert to DVI? Probably a stupid question, but does USB support video??? I ordered two Dell U2410M's, which don't have HDMI imputs, but have DVI inputs. Is there some way (Other than buying a $1000 TB monitor) that I can run dual monitors, and maitain my TB connector for "Future growth"?
Oh, also upgraded to 16GB RAM (Thanks OWC!).
Thanks
Geoff
