Mac Mini Thunderbolt to DisplayPort 1.1A

[fumi2014]

Hi there,

I am looking to buy the new Mac mini and connect it to my old monitor. It is the 30" NEC PA301W. Pretty old now but the resolution and quality is still very good for my purposes.

The only video inputs are: 2xDVI-D w/HDCP, 2xDisplayPort 1.1a.

With that in mind, what cable (or cables) do I need to buy? Sorry to ask this but I'm a bit clueless when it comes to video. I know the cable I've been using for years doesn't output audio but that's not something I'm concerned about.

Kind Regards

I think a Mini-DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable would do the job. I believe DisplayPort supports Audio.. But I might be wrong..

Any USB-C to DisplayPort adapter or cable will work (get a cable for the simplest connection).

The dual Link DVI-D inputs would require a USB-C to Dual Link DVI-D adapter.
