Compatible monitors for 09 Mac Mini

[integral]

I want to go cheap for a monitor but I want to know what monitors are compatible with the 10.5x operating system on the new Mini. So what have users actually tried that work?

Acer x233hbid, 23", 1920x1080, full 1080p, $159. Works great with new Mac Mini.

I haven't had a DVI or VGA monitor that I couldn't get working on an Intel-based Mac. I currently use Samsung and Dell monitors but have connected to Acer and Westinghouse low-end displays at the office or client locations with no difficulties.

Thanks so much. Your answer makes me a lot more comfortable trying newer monitors like the Samsung 23" 2343BW

Any monitor you find will work fine. Yo.u are going to need a Adapter for a VGA/DVI

Depending what size you get will determine the max resolution. You can even run a 30" if you get the adapter.

I have got a Acer P223WD 22" hooked up to my new 09 mac mini through dvi. The picture as brilliant after a small amount of calibration. Just plugs straight in with the cables supplied.

Looks like the Acer P223WD is for the British market. Nice looking silver frame matching the Mini. 1680x1050 with no HDMI input, however.

Not that it matters on a Mac!

Exactly. What was Apple thinking?

Milk a few extra $$$ from us diehard Mac fans before coming out with HDMI capable systems 6-12 months from now so we've had time to save money, sell our existing Macs and buy new HDMI-equipped versions of our toys.

Until then, my 1080p 16" Vaio with Bluray and HDMI out will have to suffice.
