Nov 11, 2016 - Will the 2012 Mac Mini support the 4K monitor, i'm not looking for 4K but. I had a Dell P2715Q UHD 4K monitor and the best resolution I could. Jan 3, 2019 - Best Mac monitors 2019. Philips 258B6QU. Buy from Philips. AOC U2777PQU. Asus ZenScreen MB16AC. RRP: $279.99.
Click to expand.I can't comment on the hdmi to dvi but I've got this setup, one hp zr2440w, which is a top IPS panel monitor, on a Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable as my 'main' monitor and the color and picture are flawless then a straight hdmi out to a benQ ew2420(much cheaper than the hp), the picture on the benQ with hdmi took a lot of calibrating to get right, and when I plugged the hdmi into my hp monitor I had the same flat grey issue, so it looks like the flat greys from hdmi is a problem BUT it can be rectified but some manual calibration. That said it seems to just be the hdmi port itself as I tried the hdmi to Dvi adapter with a dvi cable and I get the same issue. The 2012 Mac Mini (HD 4000) is actually very capable of running multiple (2) monitors without a sweat. Here is a link to my test setup (5 monitors) - My daily use consists of 3 22' Samsung monitors though.
The only thing I would advice is checking your cabling very carefully. Here in Europe (Germany) it is extremely expensive to buy adapters for Apple and then the corresponding cables. There are numerous companies who offer complete cables like: MiniDP - DVI MiniDP - HDMI HDMI - DVI.
I have been using such cables for years without any problems ever. PS: Yes, your virtual GPU RAM will increase (to 1024MB) when upgrading your RAM to 16GB.
