    It depends on what inputs your TV has, but if it's got DVI/HDMI or even VGA, then it should be fairly straightforward.
    1. Have you tried to Google the answer?
    2. If you were in the other person's shoes, how would you react?
    3. Do you want a quick answer or better understanding?

    Assuming you're talking a modern (low-profile, Aluminium) Mac Mini, then you can plug one monitor into the HDMI port and then attach another using the mini display port or Thunderbolt port. In both cases, this adapter will work: thunderbolt ports can be used as Mini Display Ports.
  • thank you ill give it a go :)

    Yes you didn't tell us which Mac Mini you have. There have been quite a lot of different video outputs over the years on them...
