Hi @Stephanie1110,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

To connect your Mac mini to an HP Envy 27 monitor, you’ll need the correct cables and possibly adapters depending on the ports available on both devices. Here’s a step-by-step guide.

Check Ports on Your Mac mini and HP Envy 27 Monitor

• Mac mini (2018 and later): It usually has Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C), HDMI, and USB-A ports.
• HP Envy 27 monitor: Typically, this monitor has HDMI, DisplayPort, and USB-C ports (check your specific model to confirm).

Choose the Best Connection Method

• HDMI to HDMI: If your Mac mini and HP Envy 27 both have HDMI ports, use an HDMI cable.
• USB-C to DisplayPort/HDMI: If your Mac mini has USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 and your HP Envy 27 has a DisplayPort or HDMI input, use a USB-C to DisplayPort/HDMI cable or an adapter.
• USB-C to USB-C: If both your Mac mini and monitor have USB-C, you can use a USB-C cable for video output (best option if supported).

Connect the Cable

• Connect the appropriate cable (e.g., HDMI, USB-C, or DisplayPort) from your Mac mini to the HP Envy 27 monitor.

Select the Correct Input on the Monitor

• Use the buttons on the HP Envy 27 to select the correct input source (HDMI, DisplayPort, or USB-C) based on the cable you used.

Adjust Display Settings on macOS

• Once connected, go to System Settings > Displays on your Mac to adjust resolution, orientation, or use the monitor as an extended display.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
