Mac mini “Core” systems released prior to the “Early 2009” line on March 3, 2009 can support digital resolutions “up to 1920×1200″ using DVI video output. This includes a single Apple 20″ Cinema Display (Al) or Apple 23” Cinema Display (Al), or a third-party display of similar or smaller size.

Using a DVI-to-VGA adapter, these Mac mini “Core” models can support any VGA display at a resolution up to 1920×1080. The “Early 2009” Mac mini “Core” configurations simultaneously support 1920×1200 on a DVI or VGA display using the Mini-DVI port and 2560×1600 on a dual-link DVI display using the Mini DisplayPort (with an optional Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adapter). The “Early 2009” Mac mini are the first of the Mac mini models to support dual displays. If a VGA display is dim when connected, please refer to “Reduced Brightness with Some VGA Displays and Mac
