Can a Mac mini i5 be used with any monitor?

Yes, it can. As long as the monitor has the proper ports, you can connect your Mac mini to it. Simply run your cable from the computer to the television. If the monitor you want to use doesn't have the correct input, then an adapter can be used. Certain monitors can be united with the computer via Bluetooth for wireless connectivity. This means you can use your computer wirelessly in one room without having to move it around the house.
