Best (non-apple) monitor?

For a reasonable price the LG 4K 27UP850-W. Best non gaming monitor for Mac IMO. Gives you all you need, even some stuff you don’t, and it is very good with Mac compatibility. Best option for any price (including against the ASD), ROG Swift 32” 4K OLED 240Hz. Also no matter what you do don’t buy any

Best “bang for your buck” monitor for M4?

LG 27” 4K monitor, 27up85n or older model 27up850, or 27-650 series. The 85 and 850 has USB-C with Power Delivery, but you don’t need it for you Mac Mini. Maybe for later on your MacBook? The screen is great, 163 PPI and at relative low cost. $300-400, used you can find it even around $200 Anyway, i

27” 4K monitor for MacBook Pro (coding 8–10h/day) – which one would you choose?

Be careful with LG 4k/5k monitors, some of them (especially the 4k Ultragears) have fans in them, but the 27UP850 should be fanless. Return if you have fan noises or coil whine (put your ear close to the backside of the monitor) Also check viewing angles, the 4k IPS ones aren't always great there: I

Suggest Me a good budget monitor for my mac mini m4 :)

I have both the Dell U2325QE and LG 27UP850. The Dell has great colors but I prefer the LG personally. But both are great monitors. Now. To answer your question. • ⁠Is 4K a must, or is 2K enough @ 27 inch? YES. 4K is a must. I’ve tried 2K on my Mac and regretted it. • ⁠Is a high refresh rate worth i

IPS to OLED I didn't get the wow effect.

I have a three monitor setup of LG Ultrafine 27UP850 27" 4k IPS LCD displays that are just over 3 years old now. I mostly use them for work (software development) with some occasional gaming and movies. They're perfect for work - the text is super sharp and the colours are vibrant, but are somewhat

Help with a portable or cheap monitor that’s 2k-4k?

LG 27UP85 or the older one 27UP850. Both are 27 inch 4K matte screen. You can go for the 65/650 but that one have no Power Delivery. Rock solid screens! 💪🏼

27" - 2k or 4k for Coding?

For coding, 4K at 27" gives noticeably sharper text. I use a Dell U2723QE for work and the text clarity is honestly worth it. Scaling works fine in Windows/Linux these days. If you want to match your vertical monitor, the LG 27UP850-W is a good 4K option. Just make sure your GPU can handle the extra

Thanks to this sub just pulled the trigger on the M4 Mac mini. need honest advice on monitor + peripherals before I screw up.

You can stick with the lower DPI for your gaming since there is motion. But for computer work? Headaches, eye strain, eventually get bad vision, need to pay more for better glasses in the long run. Don't know your age, but health is important! A good monitor is MORE important than an any other part

Looking for a 4K Monitor for Music Composition - Need Help Deciding!

If you’re aiming for 4K on a €300-ish budget, I’d lean toward a 27" or 32" IPS better color accuracy for music plus video work, and easier to trust for grading. Models like the LG 27UP850 or the Dell S2722QC usually hit that sweet spot when they’re on sale. VA is fine, but IPS will just give you mor

Monitor (~27”) for Mac Mini M4?

For a Mac Mini M4, the best ~27" monitor is the [Apple Studio Display] for perfect macOS integration, but it's pricey. A great value alternative is the [LG 27UP850-W] – 4K, USB-C, excellent color accuracy, and macOS-friendly scaling.
