[QUOTE="krs, post: 1926169, member: 67742"] If a 17 inch 1920x1080 screen gives you the clarity you want, then with a Mac Mini I would look for as large a monitor I can find that provides the same or better PPI value The PPI of your 17 inch screen is 130 - the PPI of a 24 inch monitor you were trying to use is only 92 so that’s why you see the pixels sitting that close But you know all that If you go for a 2K monitor, a 22 inch monitor will give you a PPI of 133 and a 24 inch 2K monitor will provide a PPI of 122 “Brand name” 22 inch 1440p monitors seem to be hard to find or non-existant, but for 24 inch 1440p “Brand name” monitors there is a reasonable selection. That would gibe you a lot larger viewing area than your old laptop and the clarity at your viewing distance should be about the same as before. [/QUOTE]
