Will a Sony XBR TV hook up via HDMI to a Mini?

[class77]

I don't want to get it home only to find out they are incompatible. I notice there seem to be some problems with HDMI, but I can't see a pattern

It sure will

I have a Sony 60 inch XBR TV and it plays movies and connects to the web daily through my Mac Mini with an HDMI cable. I love this combination and have been using it for two years. I just updated the Mini to Lion last week and it works great. I control my Mini through ARD with my MBP 15. I have 5 TB connected to the Mini through the USB and FW ports.

There is no way to answer that unless someone has exactly the same model as you. Even within a model series there can be different experiences. I have a Sony Bravia Full HD LCD and took a chance with both my 2009 Mini with Snow Leopard ( connecting by DVI to HDMI ) and my new 2011 Mini with Lion ( connecting directly via HDMI ). Both of them have worked fine and connect at 1080p.

Sorry to be thick, but what's ARD and TB? Thanks for your reply, I'm fired up about getting to stream my college baseball games on my TV!

ARD = Apple Remote Display.

TD = Terabyte.

Sorry.

ARD is Apple Remote Desktop. It allows an Apple computer to control other apple computers remotely. TB is Terabytes. External hard drives.

Yes, of course. Don't know where my brain goes sometimes😀

Thanks again

I have two minis (2010 HDMI) with two Sony TVs.

The W series and the Z series. The W did sometimes play up. Under Lion however I have not had any problems. The Z has been fine.

I hope that helps.
