Will my mac mini be able to power a 75 inch TV?

[OuterMarker]

I have a late 2014 Mac mini (I know it is a weak machine) connected to my TV. I use it to interface with my home server to access movie ISO files and play them with VLC player. Once the Christmas sales begin to take effect, I plan on getting the Sony XBR75X940D 75 inch LCD TV. The specs on the mac mini are as follows:

 

CPU: 1.4 GHz Intel Core i5

Ram: 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 5000 1536 MB

 

Will this computer power this TV, or should I plan on building a new PC to access movie files?

It depends on the resolution not the size. But most likely yes.

i mean its fairly underpowered, the intel specs say the processors integrated graphics should be able to handle 3200x2000@60Hz so technically it can.

For simple video? Not really.

Well, if the TV can support 3840X2160, I guess I better build a new dedicated PC

The HD 5000 can support UHD up to 24Hz only over HDMI. You might be able to do UHD 60Hz using a DisplayPort to HDMI 2.0 converter if they exist.

Active DP 1.2 -> HDMI 2.0 adaptors capable of 4K@60 indeed do exist.  I just got a UHD TV this Friday and my HTPC only has a Radeon HD 7950 in it, limiting it's output to 4K@30 over it's HDMI 1.4a port.  I'll post a thread on my results using a DP 1.2 -> HDMI 2.0 adaptor once Amazon delivers it to me by Monday or Tuesday.

According to everymac.com, your Mac Mini is capable of running 2 displays each at 2560x1600 resolution.

But according to Apple, it can also run true DCI 4K via a single display over HDMI at 24Hz, as well as the lower "industry standard" version of 4K known as UHD-1 at 30Hz.
