Hi!! Exactly the same problem here.

I just bought a new mac-min with this Dell U2713HM, but I do not know how to set it up.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot,

I.

Thank you Iruiz.  I did some additional finding.. you would need a display port to dual link DVI cable to get access to the maximum resolution.  This is a DVI cable with an attached USB port  http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB571Z/A/mini-displayport-to-dual-link-dvi-adapter?fnode=53&fs=m.productKind%3Dcables.  At the moment I using a standard DVI cable connected to my mini's display port.. hence get a maximum of 1080p. Will go and buy the dual link DVI cable later this week.

Thanks for the help. Really appreciate it. 

Hi again marion64 - thanks a lot for that :)

I do not think we need to spend all that money. Instead of your $99 solution, I think I have found a £5~$8 solution. Look:

1 - The thurderbolt connection in our mac-mini is backward compatible with mini-DisplayPort

2 - Our Dell U2713HM has a DisplayPort

3 - This cable miniDisplayPort to DisplayPort should do the job:

I have just bought that cable, should get it tomorrow, I will let you know if it does the job.

BTW, interesting how we both have bought exactly the same system at the same time: mac-min i7 + dell U2713HM.

Best,

I.

Thank you Iruiz .. will get the same cable.

i have a minidisplayport to displayport adaptor and a displayport cable, but my u 2713 says "no displayport cable" 

any tips?

Do not know what could be wrong... i appears that adaptor is not working well? or the cable is faulty?... all I can say is that a miniDP to DP cable worked perfectly for me.

thanks. yes, i bought a different cable/adaptor, and it now works great
