I'm getting a Mac Mini M2 with Ventura OS. What monitors work best and what adapters will I need?

Below $200 will probably limit you to 24" 1080p monitors. Try to get one whose specifications say that it has an IPS panel and near-100% coverage of sRGB. (If the coverage is not specified, assume the worst.). (If you're only working with e-mail and word processing documents and don't care about color accuracy of photos at all, there are some 22" – 24" 1080p monitors that will only set you back about $100.)
If you can stretch your budget a bit more, to the $300 – $350 range, you might be able to pick up a basic 27" 4K monitor. Something like this:
27" monitor, 4K resolution, IPS panel, 99% coverage of sRGB, HDMI & DisplayPort inputs. If you ran that monitor one step down from Larger Text (in Retina "looks like 2560x1440" mode), you'd have ~78% more workspace than with a 24" 1080p monitor, and text would probably look better as well.
Many modern monitors have two or more inputs of these types:
A few monitors (mostly 5K/6K) ones require Thunderbolt input, over a high-quality Thunderbolt cable.
Thanks for your response. That is a helpful little monograph.
Thanks for your response - I want to keep my expense for a monitor below $200 if possible. Don't need 4K, 1080 is fine. I've never had a Mac before so I'm entering new territory here. I thought I could use my HP All-in-One, but HP says no, and it's dying anyway.
+1 Most any computer monitor/display will work with the Mac mini.
take a look at > Connect a display to Mac mini - Apple Support
Most monitors will work. How much do you want to spend? Do you want 4k, 5K and what size. Give us your criteria.
You're welcome.
I would go to BestBuy and look at the LG or Samsung displays. If your BestBuy is an Apple Service Provider, then hook up with the Apple Geek for some help.
Thanks for your response! That information was very helpful. I guess I'll be spending tomorrow at BestBuy.
Not all BestBuy's do. Plus some Geeks are better than others when dealing with Mac's.
what is best monitor for the Mac Mini?
