I have a Late 2014 Mini, attached to a 24" Samsung Syncmaster 2333HD display using the HDMI output on the Mini, through an Apple HDMI->DVI adapter, into the Samsung on its DVI port. Has worked fine for years. In preparation for using the Samsung with the Mini M1, I tried attaching HDMI -> HDMI, skipping the DVI conversion, and using an HDMI cable that has worked OK between my Camcorder and TV. While I got an image (once I selected HDMI input on the Samsung), it was bad in a few serious ways.
(1) The image was slightly oversized, by about 1/2" all the way around. Meant my top and side menus/icons were missing. I could move my mouse past the edges of the screen and get some results, but unreliably given the invisibility.
(2) The resolution looked like 6 bit instead of 8 bit, noticeably ragged.
(3) The color was a bit garish.
I could fuss with the size and color cast in the Mac OS (High Sierra) setups, but could not avoid the lower resolution. So, a few questions:
(1) Has anyone been using the M1 successfully with HDMI -> HDMI on a monitor similar to my Samsung, with both DVI and HDMI input options?
(2) Has anyone used the M1 successfully with HDMI -> DVI on a monitor like mine?
(3) Anyone know why I'd be getting my flawed HDMI -> HDMI results using my current system?
Thanks!
