Hello all
Can my Mac mini (Late 2012) deliver the full resolution of this screen (3840 x 2160)? Unfortunately, I can't quite figure it out from the Mac's specifications.
And if I can't use the full resolution, is the picture still reasonably sharp?
Many thanks for your help :-)

According to https://support.apple.com/de-ch/HT206587, a late 2012 Mac mini should be able to drive a 3840 x 2160 pixel display, but only at 30 Hz, which admittedly isn't exactly a hit. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=re74_0fIUXs

And according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_resolution, the image would not look good on a 4K monitor with a 2560 x 1600 pixel signal.

I will probably look around for another monitor for the time being :-(

Answer

Your Mac only supports a resolution up to 2560 x 1600 pixels
