Hey all,
So I just unboxed and hooked up my "new" refurb Mini. I hooked up the Mini via a Monoprice MiniDisplay to HDMI connector to my Sony 46W5100 TV. The mini is the current model 2.53/4GB/320, etc. The TV is also "new" got it in January. I turned on the Mini, and nada on my screen which was disappointing. I got my 13' uMBP 2.26/4GB and hooked it up to the TV via the Mini-Display to HDMI and there was my screen almost instantly. Now I know that the Mini and the uMBP have identical graphics cards so I'm not sure why my MBP would show up on my TV but not the mini. I tried re-hooking up the mini via the mini-display to HDMI and did a screen share from my MBP to mess with the settings. It was set on 1080p (which the TV is natively), and I clicked off overscan as I've read on here. I also made the refresh rate 60hz instead of 24. And still nothing. Then I changed the resolution to 1080i and suddenly the display showed from the mini then it disappeared. I was not able to get it back by changing the resolutions again. This is most frustrating. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can use it with the VGA but I was really wanting the HDMI
Thanks
John
