Mac experts, can a mini be dual screened?
Do any of you know of a way of dual screening a mini? Pretty sure its only got 1 dvi port.
Can'y justity a cinema screen sadly, as a wide screen would solve the issue, but have a spare flat screen at home.

Two questions back at you. What model of mini is it, and what OS is it running.
If it's the latest one then it does support two monitors, either extended desktop (normal kind of add a monitor thing) or video mirroring. You purchase a Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter and away you go.
Not too sure about earlier models though, hence my asking about the model type. I know my mini at work only has one mini dvi connector and I'm fairly sure it can only handle a single monitor.
