34" Ultrawide for My Late 2012 Mac-Mini?

[Warrior]

I've been looking to upgrade my monitor and am seriously considering a 34" Ultrawide (3440x1440).

Will my Mac support this?

Model Name: Mac mini
Model Identifier: Macmini6,2
Processor Name: Intel Core i7
Processor Speed: 2.3 GHz

No it wont, hardware support is 1920x1200 on the HDMI, or you can go up to 2560x1600 on the thunderbolt port by using an adaptor.

I was discussing this with a Dell salesperson yesterday regarding their 34" U3415W 3440x1440 after reading on a Macrumors forum that it would work. The conversation went like this:

Me: "I was reading a post on macrumors forum. Someone was considering this 34" Dell monitor and had a late 2012 Mac-Mini like mine. A person responded with this comment: "You should be fine with mDP-mDP or mDP-DP cabling."

Dell Agent: "yes, that is correct if you are using a mini display to mini display we recommend U3415W as an option"

Me: "Does this mean I can get good results using the 34" U3415W with my Mac-Mini?"

Dell Agent: "yes, you will be able to access your mac-mini with U3415W when connected over mini display cable with no loss when it comes to resolution"

Me: "I see. So I can achieve 3440x1440? What about 60 Hz? Some people mentioned they could only achieve 50 Hz. Would that affect jerkiness of movement or video playback issues?"

Dell Agent: "Yes, it can take 3440x1440 at 60hz comfortably with no problems."

I purchase an AOC 34" monitor at the advice of the tech at Micro Center. It's currently running 3440x1440 via HDMI.

Now trying to make adjustments to font sizes, browser window size, etc for best viewing.
