There are monitors that support video in via USB C. I have one portable monitor that takes usb, no problem using mac mini m1/m2 connect via usb C to monitor usb c.

3 usb-c at the back can connect monitor.

Three Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C) ports with support for:

Thunderbolt 4 (up to 40 Gbps)
USB 4 (up to 40 Gbps)
DisplayPort

ok this should be with GDEX now. I hope they can deliver tomorrow!!

According to this video avoiding HDMI port is the way to go.

Anyone here switched from PC and still using their old 1080p or 1440p monitors?

i did not buy any monitor, reuse old monitor. just get hdmi to usb c x2 unit and one using hdmi. work great 3 monitor. dunno what p resolution

work well using hdmi. else wasted port. i need thunderbolt for my nvme enclosure. now plug in 3 monitor without any problem

Hopefully really come today!

Great to hear this from you! My plan is to use it on 2x 1080p and one 1440p monitor setup...

I'm using 27" 2k monitor, don't trust the "must use 4k at least" or HiDPI myth online. I'm not seeing any blur text on 2K without using betterdisplay, I have another same specs (albeit lower end) monitor connects to windows 11 side by side and I can't see any different between the two. Maybe I don't have sharp eye.

wow... nice.... fingercross the display will be sharp with my LG ultrawide monitor.

Yeah i'm not going to pixel peep, so hoping that i can survive on my 27" 1080p and 1440p monitors... i've bought the Acasis NVME usb C hub with 2 HDMI out for this...

2k is enuff for today's standard if 4k monitor still expensive...haha

What does betterdisplay bring to the table?

Not sure actually, Some say not much different while others say very effective on enable HiDPI on native resolution. It's taken up system GPU and CPU resources so I choose not to try. I'm satisfied with what I get without any tweaking. If someone tried it and do find it's worth the hassle please share your experience here.

I bought 28” 4k Acer monitor in 2021 around RM1100. I think quite affordable already. They also realeased newer model this year with 160hz 4k around 1300. Was even tempted to get it for gaming. But cannot find the model now. Forgotten the model number..
