To be sure Iain, did you mean "Any screen with a Mac mini?" If so yes, provided it's either VGA, DVI (digital) or HDMI (TV) You can't use an analogue DVI I don't think but if it's an issue I would check. I run two screens off mine most of the time, just plugged in, nothing special except the adaptors. The Mac mini should come with a Mini display port to VGA as standard. To run a second monitor an HDMI to DVI (digital) adaptor is needed. Also the video out ports on the Mac mini have changed over the years, but broadly speaking any common screen should be able to run on the Mac mini with the appropriate adaptor.

Yes I am using a cheap monitor with my Mac Mini and use the VGA connector for my old Mac Mini and the DVI to HDMI lead for the new Mac Mini. I think I have decided to NOT get the Apple Thunderbolt enabled 27" screen but instead get the direct equivalent Dell 27" UC2711 which does 2450x1400 (same as the Apple one and uses the same LCD screen). Advantage with the Dell screen is that it provides vertical adjustment as well. I also considered the Dell UC3011 which goes to 2450x1600 but that gets you nothing more when you really do the maths and it cost twice as much for the extra 3" screen size.

How full is your HD Iain? You should always have at least 20% free, because the OS uses vast amounts of HD space for virtual RAM. If the HD is getting full it will impact badly on the overall performance. Replacing the HD on an iMac is easy enough. Suggest a WD Black 1Tb? Ram won't make that much difference but try checking the permissions, go to Disk utility and Select your main HD then Repair Permissions. Best to do it when started up from CD. PM or eMail me if you like. Attachment: Screen Shot 2012-07-26 at 16.46.35.jpg (Downloaded 69 times)

 If it still does what you need then why worry?

It does what I want but my wife is hooked on some games which are part of Facebook. They seem to overwhelm the computer - probably the video card and I have to restart the system after she gets done with the games. I believe I read somewhere that gaming software is the most demanding on a computer. Anyway, I would imagine we will be looking in about a year or so for a new iMac.
