[QUOTE="dcs.79c, post: 1946157, member: 333068"] I have a 27" 1080P monitor that's dying. Occasionally, when I turn on my 2023 Mac mini, I see snow. I turn the monitor off then on & the snow is gone. So, maybe sooner rather than later, I'll need to replace the display. I do have a 23" 1080P monitor that I can use if my Dell fails before I'm able to get a new display. Based on my research on YouTube, monitors have a higher pixel density than TVs & higher refresh rates. A thought just occurred to me. Maybe the higher refresh rates are based on using a PC rather than an Apple. I assume that the video card is capable of higher refresh rates. The Display option in Settings shows 50 Hz, 60 Hz & 75 Hz for the Dell. It's set on 75 Hz with no problems. I'd love to get a 32" 4K HDTV to replace the 27". Monitor buttons are such a pain in the posterior. A TV would have a remote control. I still haven't decided on getting a monitor or a TV. This is from the Apple mini specs page: [I]HDMI display video output • Support for one display with up to 4K resolution at 60Hz[/I] So, if I get a super-deluxe gaming monitor the resolution is maxed out at 60 Hz, correct? If I get another 1080P, can I possibly get a refresh rate higher than 75 Hz? I don't completely understand how the Apple scaling works. [/QUOTE]
