Late 2012 Mac mini Active mDP to HDMI issue

[wizardoss]

Dear Forum,

Ive tried 3 different mdp to hdmi adapters, all active, and my mac mini 2012 i7 2.6ghz thinks every monitor is a tv through this route. Ive even used each of these adapters through 2 different hdmi 2.0 cables.

these adapters and cables work fine with my MBP 2012.

can anyone help? I want to use the mac mini with a 4k tv that has a 1440p native resolution, a few samsung tvs do this.

But not matter what i do the max output in 1080p. tried switchrex which says its doing 1440p but still both the TV and 1440p monitor all says 1080p.

Thanks

I had the same issue. Had to use DisplayPort cable on my monitor as it had a DP port. Just doesn't want to accept HDMI.
