30Hz is workable for programming. Don't get me wrong, if you can wait longer for 60Hz, do so. But if you need a monitor now and want lots of pixels, a 30Hz 4K can help you get work done. I don't know anything about the Mac Mini. I only ever work with assembled computers. I do know that all you need is a modest GPU such as a GTX760 [1] to do 60Hz 4K with DisplayPort. That's about $250. A low-end GPU such as a GTX650 [2] can be used with HDMI to do 30Hz 4K. That's about $125. We're using the GTX650 in our Windows, Linux, and Hackintosh boxes.
