Wow!...is a long wait...but, it is coming finally that's count...

Got mine today from Machine. Anyone can recommend a good 27” monitor that doesn’t cost arm and leg like Studio Display that works well with ok resolution. Not been buying computer stuffs for ages, any suggestions will be real helpful for me. Thanks!

Budget?

Below 3K

This is perfect

if u all got research macos 4k scaling issues better just go for 2k display

Oh 4K doesn’t works??

it works but we set 4k scaling in settings the whole system will looks very very small. In order to make the system viewable we only can set 2k, so basically even u monitor is 4k but the overall experience are similar to 2k

Bought Asus Proart 27” 4K, no issue with scaling work perfectly at the resolution I need. No performance or blur texts issues as what posted by some users on M1 machine previously.

This page clarified some of the misinformation

How much you paid for it?

Yup, 4K Monitor need becareful, unless the size is big enough to run native 4K and not too small.

You see, 4K is 3840x2160, if say 27 inches, set it native will make all thing look quite small to read, the idea HiDPI for this resolution is 1920x1080 (FHD resolution) but then make thing too big. Yes, you can scale down to 2560x1440 but some monitor may look blurry, stressing your eyes for long working on it.

Get proper 2.5K resolution is better in my opinion for any dimension below 30inches, or go for 5K monitor and scale down to 2.5k like LG UltraFine 27.

RM2.1K Asus design n quality not bad and professionally graded color so works well with what I do. Mac M1/M2 certified too as shown on the website and latest firmware. Not blurry texts in all available scaled resolution.

Not bad the price. Nearest competitor is DELL Ultrasharp U2723QE but that one need RM3.3k.

After using for few days, I advise those who yet to buy and intend to keep the mini running for several years upgrade the RAM to 16G if possible. 8GB is seriously not enough for Ventura

8GB is sufficient for me. Primary usage for email, web surfing and office 365. No lag whatsoever. In the future i don't know la lol. If really lag sell it and buy with 16GB again, since I bought using education price easily can sell back at cost.

If jus play play only 8gb definitely enough, i m more advising those who wanted to keep for at least 3 years. Heck even Chrome gobbled up all the 10GB of RAM without memory saving mode. Swap kaw kaw the SSD

My 512 and 16gb getting delay again. And again no reason no sorry. This is pretty bad. Delayed till 30th of March. Bought it on 22nd February. More than 1 month to get the spec and best of all, the website currently stated 5 days to deliver for new orders. Feeling cheated.

running Linux every day use... my memory normally 2-3 gb only

but I use edge not chrome des maybe why

macos uses more but way less than windows...

but sucks can't upgrade ram only cheaply with edu ac... 16gb would have been real nice to have

Don't know why people love to use Chrome. I stick to safari, open 20 tabs also no issue or lag
