Hi Tom, Unless you have someone sighted planning on using the Mac mini also, you can use it perfectly well without a monitor. I did that for years. You can also buy adapters for many kinds of older desktop monitors, so if you already have a monitor hanging around, there’s a good chance it could be used with the mini.
But purchasing a monitor is in no way a requirement for a VO users of a Mac mini.
