I would have preferred a Dell UP2516D 25 inch which also has a resolution of 2560 x 1440 but has even better colour reproduction than the BenQ. It was far cheaper than other professional displays in its class.High resolution (2560×1440) for a 25 inch monitor.Brightness levels are reasonably easy to adjust. It has some easy to access modes that cut down blue light. Did you know that there are some colours that a monitor cannot reproduce! This refers to how many colours the monitor can display. (My old Apple thunderbolt display had 76% Adobe RGB, 2017 Macbook Pro’s have 91%, the DELL mentioned below has 100%). 100% sRGB which equates to 70% Adobe RGB. It has a solid mechanism to move it up and down. I ordered mine from a local Windows PC shop and it set me back AU$452. I ended up going with a BENQ BenQ PD2500Q 25″ 2K QHD 2560×1440 4ms 60Hz IPS HDMI DP mDP Designer Monitor and it is absolutely fantastic. Read more to find out what monitor I ended up buying! The demo modes on the monitors are made to look crystal clear and sharp, but when you plug it into you computer and display plain text some monitors can be fuzzy or blurry or even look washed out. Take your own laptop in or ask the store for a demo plugged into a MAcintosh computer. Make sure you plug it into a computer and have a look at some text on the screen. Check out the contrast ratio, colour reproduction and resolution.ĭon’t just look at the monitor in demo mode in the store. So it’s more important to look at the quality of the monitor than the brand. But be aware that all of these brands make low quality monitors as well. I’ve also read good reviews on Acer and HP. I went down to the local computer shop and tried a few out and the ones that stood out to me were LG, BenQ, Samsung and Dell. There are a wide variety of monitors available. If you have a choice go for a monitor with a HDMI cable so as to leave the 4 USB-C ports free. My strong advice it try to get a monitor that comes with a HDMI cable or a USB-C cable – don’t rely on Apple’s Thunderbolt to USB-C adapter. (Except for an Apple one because they don’t make them any more!) The Mac mini has a HDMI port for a display, but you can also plug a monitor into any of the 4 USB-C ports.

You can use any monitor with the new Mac mini 2018.
