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!

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?

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.

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
