    Really confused at this stage. So confused I've just gone and triple checked my input capabilities on my screen:rolleyes:

    I've got Digital written by one input and the other is VGA input. The Mac Mini only comes with A HDMI to DVI adapter.

    Does this mean I need a HDMI cable or a dvi cable or a HDMI to dvi cable

    Thanks for advice!!

    It depends on your TV. If it has HDMI then get a HDMI cable. If has DVI then get a DVI cable and connect it to the Mini using the adapter.

    Thanks for that. Have decided that I'm going to hook it up to the spare tv and use the HDMI cable that I also already have. Saves money. Plus I can return the screen that I just purchased:D which was for another project whic seems to have failed sadly :o

    Have ordered my Mac Mini - can't wait:D:D
