Just getting back to macs however i have a problem with what i need to use to power my 2560 x 1440 monitor?

The monitor i have has support for Dual Link DVI-D, DP (Display Port), VGA (D-sub 15pin)

The mac mini for what i can see has Thunderbolt port and a HDMI

However i know HDMI can only go up to 1080 so leaves the Thunderbolt port, what connector do i need for this to connect to my monitor to push 2560 x 1440?

Thanks

Tim

Just a simple Mini DisplayPort to displayport. That will get you full Rez on your display. Cable will run you less than $10.
