Monitor for new M4 Mac Mini

Hello, I’ve pre-ordered the new M4 Mac Mini, and I’m looking for a suitable monitor within a limited budget. The variety of options available where I live is also restricted.

This is my first Mac device. I’ve always used Windows laptops. I only recently learned that choosing the right monitor was important, and I’m finding it very difficult to figure it all out.

I’ve been researching monitors that would work compatibly with the Mac Mini for hours, and I could really use some help.

I’ve found a monitor that I like and that fits my budget. If I purchase this monitor, can I use it smoothly with the Mac Mini?

LG 27UP650P-W UHD 4K IPS

• Screen resolution: 3840 x 2160

• Connection options: DisplayPort 1.4, 2 x HDMI (2.0), 3.5 mm headphone jack

That LG display is a good choice, plus you have a few options for connecting it to the Mac mini.

an HDMI to HDMI cable, a USB-C to HDMI cable, or a USB-C to DisplayPort cable

I did like the Ultrawide screen, particularly nice for FCP which I feel became so much more useable on this footprint. Im now researching this as a replacement Dell UltraSharp 40 Curved Thunderbolt™ Hub Monitor - U4025QW

It boasts more screen brightness and better refresh rate but still not sure what the Mac mini with OS 15.2 will allow in resolution. Id be interested to see what others are achieving.

Thank you for that info. I didn't know that running a 27 inch 4k monitor in 3008x1692 resolution brings it into a Retina mode, but it makes perfect sense because I have a 27" 4K Samsung ViewFinity S8 and after experimentation I chose that resolution as my favorite as well.
