@Macworld Yes! 2012 Mac mini base model, HDMI to a nice new Dell display. Goes black for 3-4 sec, 1-2 times/day. Not heat. Maybe HDCP?

@Macworld Yes, it seems like the video is washed out using hdmi. Not so much if I use display port adapter. This is third mm in a week.

@Macworld yes, flickering and/or snow when using HDMI->DVI adapter with Dell monitor. Doesn't happen with TB->DVI adapter. Returned it :-(

@Macworld yep...just started today...it happens for 4 or 5 seconds...all I see is snow...and then it comes back normally...very annoying

@Macworld I purchased a shiny new 2012 Mac Mini with i7 upgrade & 16gb of ram. regular "blink/snow", Apple silence... story!!

@Macworld Yep, getting split-second screen blanks on my '12 Mac mini from the get-go over HDMI. Once an hour or so.

@Macworld I'm the original poster on that thread. My display issues are short and far between but I'm still seeing them occasionally.

@Macworld I dont have a 2012 mac mini, but have a 2011 mac mini and have many problems with the HDMI output... cant use it, hav 2 use vga :(

@Macworld my Mini has been fine. I have the i7 model. I’ve connected it to two different models, one with HDMI the other with the adapter.

@Macworld Yes. Running dual HP ZR2440w displays. 2 issues: 1) HDMI makes for bad color. DVI fixes. 2) Woke to weird fuzzy screen. Only 1x.

@Macworld My Brand New mini has this problem! Black/snowy screens several times a day (connected to TV via HDMI) Hope it's a software issue

@Macworld Mini 2.6 with flicker and snow screen using HDMI to Samsung 40" TV, & HDMI->DVI to Dell 2412m monitor. Returning for refund. POS!

@Macworld MacMini mini display / thunderbolt port works fine.
