I have a 2008 Mac mini and am trying to connect to Samsung LED tv via the hdmi/dvi input. I have purchased the hdmi to dvi cable and connect to the Mac mini via the mini display port adapter. As soon as I power on the Mac mini it treats the Samsung as a 2nd display and I cannot use the mini at all.
Choose from: Belkin 4K Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter,Belkin 4K Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Cable (2 m/6.5 ft.).

Mac computers that have any of the following ports can connect to HDMI devices. Learn how to identify the ports on your Mac.

I've gone thru the above growing pains and figured out the mini DisplayPort to VGA conversion adaptor would work for my first monitor on my Mac Mini. However, I am installing a second monitor (I would highly recommend), and intended on using the HDMI port on my Mac Mini and a VGA to HDMI adaptor cord to connect the new monitor.

HDMI port: Connects directly to HDMI using an HDMI cable.
USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) port: Connects to HDMI using an adapter, such as the Apple USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter.
Mini DisplayPort: Connects to HDMI using a third-party Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter or cable.

Mac computers that have an HDMI port comply with HDMI 1.4b and support:

At least 1080p video over HDMI, and some Mac models support higher resolutions when connecting to 4K displays, 5K displays, and Ultra HD TVs
8-channel/24-bit audio at 192kHz, Dolby Surround 5.1, and traditional stereo
HDCP-encrypted playback from iTunes and QuickTime Player (version 10). Safari in macOS Sierra or later also supports HDCP-encrypted playback, if the web page is HTML5-enabled and the content is FairPlay Streaming-enabled and delivered using Media Source Extensions or HTTP Live Streaming.

If using an adapter, check the specifications of the adapter to learn about supported resolutions and other details.

If your HDMI device isn't receiving audio from your Mac:

Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Sound. In the Output pane, make sure that your HDMI device is selected.
If you're connecting using a Mini DisplayPort adapter, make sure that your Mac can send audio over Mini DisplayPort.
If you're connecting from a Mac mini, unplug any audio device that is plugged into your computer's Audio-Out port.

If your Mac goes to sleep while a video is playing or paused, you might see an HDCP error. Quit the app that is playing the video, then open the app again. If the issue continues, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Energy Saver and adjust the settings so that your display doesn't turn off.
