[QUOTE="barp_m, post: 1935820, member: 419459"] Hi everyone, I've just bought an M2 Mac Mini and it's brilliant! I had, before, a 12 year old 27" iMac so needed a monitor for my Mac Mini. I purchased a FHD 1080p 27" VA monitor and it's horrendous to look at - the text is really hard to read, very grainy and pixelated and it gives me a headache! I've tried a friend's 1080p 23.5" IPS monitor and, while slightly better, still looks horrid. I use Logic a lot so really need the resolution to be bigger, to give me more real estate, so as to fit all the different columns and windows in while having space to work on the main arrangement. I'm assuming I need more than the 1920 x 1080 resolution, but is it the case that the Mac Mini hasn't been built to reasonably provide for a 1080p resolution. Do I need a 2k (2560 x 1440) or even a 4K monitor - will that sort it? Dell won't let me return my monitor (that's a whole other story!) so I'm reluctant to buy something else I can't return only to try it and have the same problem. Help please! Thanks in advance [/QUOTE]
