My late 2014 mac mini (purchased new in 2017) has been working fine with my 24" Apple monitor Model Number A1267. However the logic board went AWOL last week and is being repaired (by Apple) as I write.
I bought a new 2018 mac mini only to discover it doesn't work with this older monitor. The thunderbolt ports have changed and the older t/b plugs coming out of the back of the monitor don't fit. Moreover, Apple don't make any adaptor for this (they tell me) AND two different non-Apple MiniDisplay adapters I got from Amazon don't work either.
So here's my question; which monitors on the market will work with the 2018 mac mini ? One Apple Chat I had informed that there was only one Apple monitor that would do the job but had a massive 36" screen ! I can't accommodate anything bigger than my current 24".
I could just plough on with the repaired 2014 mac mini when it arrives of course, but it would only by putting off the inevitable.
Thanks for reading so far and looking forward to some advice.
Oh, and by the way, I'm writing this on my wife's MacBook pro. And thank heaven for iPhones. You need them to get emails when your computer is down !
