The Mac mini has a DVI-I port on the back of the computer that allows you to connect any

In addition, the Mac mini comes with a DVI to VGA adapter (shown below), if you prefer to
connect a VGA monitor to your Mac mini.
If you connect a DVI monitor to the Mac mini, it can display digital resolutions up to 1920 x
1200 pixels, depending on your monitor. If you use the included DVI to VGA adapter, the
display port supports analog resolutions up to 1920 x 1080 pixels, depending on your
monitor.
