[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1946159, member: 110816"] The first thing to start with is the capabilities of the computer (PC or Mac aren't what you should be looking at), which will tell you the max refresh rate and resolution supported. Based on that, you want to match the monitor that makes sense. For example, if you have a computer capable of supporting a max resolution of 2K at 60 Hz and have a monitor with a native resolution of 2K and 75 Hz. The monitor will work, but being below expected refresh rate (depending on the monitor) might have no impact or huge impact. Similarly, spending money on a 120 or 240 Hz monitor and attaching it to a computer that supports a max 60 Hz is a waste of money. If you are using a Mac Mini based on M2, the 4K at 60 Hz you quoted is accurate. The M2 Pro on the same machine can handle 4K at 144 Hz with paired with another monitor or with a single monitor go up to 4K 240 Hz. You cannot increase the refresh rate, just match what's supported. IMHO, 27" monitor with 1080P resolution is crappy. Jumping from that to a 32" at 4K will be quite a dramatic shift. [/QUOTE]
