No DVI on that model. I hope your Mac mini has an adapter. That's extremely expensive for what you are getting there btw. $500 for a 19" LCD is a LOT.

That's because its not just a monitor but an HDTV monitor, ie, it doubles as a TV.

In that case, then it will work. I have 2 of the same displays as you have there (20.1" wide Dell 2005FPW). So awesome.

I still say $500 is too much for a 19" LCD. I've seen prices for a 32" LCD in the 650 range.

I think you could buy a higher resolution monitor of the same size or 20" widescreen with a higher resolution and better response time cheaper. Samsung brand too. It might be more difficult to use as a TV though. I'll find the one I was looking at on Newegg, it was under $300.

EDIT: Here it is: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16824001081

They also have a 22" widescreen that is under $400.

You can get a GOOD 26" HP LCD for around $750 with EVERY input and built-in HD tuner

HP2600 is the model. Check it out, I have one as a PC monitor.

1st of all it's a nice tv and great and does have a DVI Port , but I would get this white model just cause I like white better that is your choice and says Dvi port clearly plus component and everything else a great tv and looks awesome in white. Link to White one. Also a very nice price.

I wholeheartedly support Samsung TVs. My computer monitor is Samsung 17", and my TV is a 32" LCD. Both rock.

Actually it does have DVI, the specs page on CC's website is wrong (I think it also has a seprate VGA input too). Though the Ssmsung's are nice, I do agree with mtxbass, you'd be overpaying a bit for a 19" TV OP.

Guys he is buying a TV not a computer monitor. Stop comparing bigger PC monitors prices to the TV. That is a great price for an LCD HDTV with a reliable name.

I don't see it having a tuner. How does this qualify as an HDTV and not an HD-Ready TV?
