[QUOTE="Ctrl-Opt-Del, post: 1588641, member: 215112"] Depends on how you choose to set it up. You can set them up as dual monitors, with the desktop spanning across both; or you can elect to "mirror" them - as you refer to below - to have them show the same image simultaneously (which can be an issue if you have a TV & monitor of differing aspect ratio, as the image on at least one screen will end-up stretched to fit; even if your monitor is 16:9, if it's not 1920x1080 then you won't get the most resolution out of a 1080p TV). DisplayPort does carry sound, so an audio-equipped monitor will work via the Thunderbolt connection. Although, the mini does have a 3.5mm stereo audio out jack, so you could use external speakers too. As said above, it depends how you configure your system; you don't have to mirror your displays & it's generally advisable not to (that's a mode generally only used for if you're doing a presentation & have your computer hooked-up to a big screen or projector, where you want to see the same thing on your screen as everyone else is seeing).
