When connecting my mac mini to a monitor do I need more than one HDMI port?
I've seen some reviews about a Samsung tv im thinking about buying which looks pretty good, but a couple have said, shame it only has one HDMI port. Do I need this for connecting a mac mini? Or are these people just connecting a lot more to their monitors than I will be?
Hi Ben,
The one HDMI Port on the Mac Mini is enough to connect your monitor, it carries audio signal as well. No need for a second HDMI Port.
