How Daisy Chaining Monitors work?

2

Can this only be done with Display Port 1.2? Can someone please explain how does this works?

Also, Dell u2713H supports Daisy Chaining, what advantage this support mean? Can I connect 3 2560x1440 displays to my Base 2011 Mac Mini?

Display port 1.2_4 supports daisy chaining multiple monitors, it appears to be independent of source, but your graphics card must support it, so once you find out what video card is in your mac mini then you can visit the manufacturer's site to find out.

My Mac Mini have Intel HD 3000. The new Mac Mini got Intel HD 4000. So, can I connect 2 displays to my own and 3 to the new one? – ShadowHero – 2013-02-01T14:49:36.493
