13.3-inch (diagonal) LED-backlit glossy widescreen display with support for millions of colors.Meets ENERGY STAR Version 5.2 requirements.Highly recyclable aluminum and glass enclosure.MacBook Pro is designed with the following features to reduce its environmental impact: Support for Apple iPhone headset with microphone.Combined headphone/line in (supports digital output).Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR (Enhanced Data Rate) wireless technology.Wi-Fi wireless networking 2 (based on IEEE 802.11n specification) IEEE 802.11a/b/g compatible.You could think of a passive adapter as like making a photo copy or copying a VHS tape which always means the copy is inferior to the original, an active adapter since it generates a new clock signal does not have this problem. I have however and so has the other user had success with this Club3D adapter.įor those interested an active adapter generates a brand new clock signal, a passive adapter merely passes the signal through unaltered. I can also say from personal experience some other supposedly active adapters did not work for me with a different screen. Note: Most cheap Mini Displayport to HDMI adapters are passive and will not help. With the following adapter this other user was then able to get their LG screen working perfectly. The Mini Displayport on the Mac Pro and the Mac mini does support higher resolutions than the HDMI port. However my suggestion was to use an active Mini Displayport to HDMI adapter. This other user found it was not working with their LG screen.

For the Mac Pro 2013 its built-in HDMI port is like the LG screen and the Mac mini a HDMI 1.4 port but unlike the Mac mini it does support up to 4K but again only up to 30fps and you would think that would mean it should work at 2560x1080.

In theory a HDMI 1.4 port as used by the LG 29U58 screen can do 4K resolution but at only 30fps, it might therefore be able to do the 2560x1080 you want at 60fps but not as mentioned on the built-in Mac mini HDMI port. The Mac mini HDMI port itself is only supported by Apple at a maximum resolution of 1920x1200 pixels so absolutely definitely you are not going to get the full resolution using the built-in HDMI port. The following is not guaranteed to work for you since you have a Mac mini but it did solve another users identical problem who was using a Mac Pro 2013 and the same ultra wide LG screen.
