#Displayport to late 2012 mac mini issues upgrade

Since I haven't really found a solution I'm chalking my problem up to the fact that my Mac won't let my Dell running at 30hz won't play with my other monitors that run at 60hz. When I do, the screen looks amazing again but I start having artifact and flickering issues again. The screen quality sucks once again, but I am able to change the refresh rate back to 30hz. Then I plug in the Dell (and only the dell) using the HDMI. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like there is a way to change that on the Mac and the monitor itself doesn't give me that option when plugged in via mini-displayport. At that point I found out that Dell is running in 30hz even in 1080. Same artifact issue.ĭid some searching and couldn't really find a solution to the problem.

At this point I use a another LCD 1080 monitor I have and test it in place of the viewsonic, Dell in mini display-port and the new monitor in HDMI. This time it works ,but the screen clarity on the Dell sucks! It's like its on part with the Viewsonic next to it. So, I hook the Dell up via HDMI and use the viewsonic with a mini Displayport to DVI cable. When it turned the Mac back on, both screens flicker, wash out and artifacts. I want to stay dual monitors so I hooked my second Viewsonic back up (HDMI to DVI cable) until I purchase another Dell display. That part I'm in love with, and I'm going to have a hard time going back to anything else.Īlright, now to my issues. This is hands down the most clear display I've ever used. That works just fine as the extra three inches over my old screen is what I want. Icons and text are tiny, but I used the scaling and turned it back into 1080. First thing I noticed is the Mac support for anything over 1080 sucks. Now I know my Mini doesn't support 4k, but I figured the monitor would work until I upgrade. Plugged it in Via mini display-port and fired it up. I installed f.lux a few weeks ago and that has helped my headache problem a little bit.Įarlier this week I went out and purchased a Dell 27' P2815Q LED 4K Screen. Lately I've been getting late night headaches and I am needing more screen space when working in Indesign and Photoshop. I have been using dual 24' Viewsonic VA2431WM LCD screens.

I have decided to upgrade my dual monitor setup on my 2012 Mac Mini (I7, 16GB Ram, SSD, Intel 4000 Graphics 1024MB).
