That has a smaller footprint and overall takes up less room than a wide, curved display but it is a compromise between screen real estate and space on your desk. Like we said, the better compromise is inches. You get that much more on the screen and the monitor doesn't take up that much more room. You do just need to forget that one of the very best inch monitors comes with an iMac wrapped around it.
Today you can get monitors that display in 5K resolution, 4K resolution and sundry lesser ones you probably shouldn't think about buying new. You may be able to get a cheap deal on a display that's less than 4K it would take some effort and the savings wouldn't be great. Certainly not great enough to make up for the hours you'll spend staring at it.
Similarly, you could get an deal on a 5K display. Officially, Apple only sells one type of monitor and it doesn't make any. As with all monitors, prices vary hugely but you can also get that same display on Amazon for less. The rest, with a 4K panel in about 27 inches comes in at around ppi. This is still pretty sharp and clear, but if you have a Retina MacBook Pro open next to it, you can tell the difference.
There is nothing wrong with spending money to get what you need. In fact, buying something inadequate for your work is far more of a waste of money. Nonetheless, if you are not totally certain that you need a 5K monitor, you don't, and it probably isn't worth the investment at this time. The Mac mini takes monitors with various different connectors and resolutions. There are many jobs where you need the fastest connection specification, the greatest color gamut and the widest screen.
There are also many jobs where you'd like that. Yet for the majority of us doing the majority of work we do, all that matters is whether the monitor will work when you connect it to a Mac mini. You're not exactly out of luck if the monitor needs a VGA connection, though, as you'd just need to buy an adapter. Your Mac mini can't be upgraded very much. You can only add RAM and then only a certain amount.
Your monitor, on the other hand, can't be upgraded at all. It's true that you could eventually sideline it. You could buy a second or even third monitor and have one of those be your main display with the others to the side. Take your time choosing the right display, though, and the combination of that plus the Mac mini is going to be superb.
You make your choice and then you have to live with looking at it for many hours a day. You can also check out our official Instagram account for exclusive photos.
You can connect it to an Apple monitor, but Apple does not offer a lot of selection in its monitors and the prices are often higher than those of other manufacturers.
Because most Mac video adapters are only 2 or 3 inches long, they are almost always too short to reach the screen -- so you'll need a monitor cable, too. After you connect the cable and adapter to the screen and the Mac Mini and power them on, the Mac Mini should automatically detect the monitor. If it doesn't, turn off both the monitor and the Mac Mini, turn on the monitor, and then restart the Mac Mini.
Our recommendations are based on what we think are the best monitors for a Mac Mini or a Mac that are currently available. They are adapted to be valid for most people, in each price range. Rating is based on our review, factoring in price and feedback from our visitors. If you would prefer to make your own decision, here is the list of all of our monitor reviews.
Be careful not to get too caught up in the details. Most monitors are good enough to please most people, and the things we fault monitors on are often not noticeable unless you really look for them.

The M1 MacBooks are limited to only one external display. While prior Mac Mini models had some workarounds to get a Mac Mini running on an iMac monitor, you will have to obtain a separate display.
Not reliably. You could use Mac screen sharing or a solution like Luna Display over Wi-Fi if you are desperate, but most workarounds are a pain to get started. Even options such as using Sidecar with an iPad require you to have a display first to set it up. Then turn your Mini and your monitor on. You also can find USB-C adapter cables that will work with the Thunderbolt 3 port if you are working only with DisplayPlay or other, rarer connections. Given that the Mac Mini only supports two external displays and the M1-powered MacBooks can only connect to one monitor, a curved display can be a good solution to get more screen real estate.
There are several benefits here. Second, the wide format means you essentially get the benefit of having two displays, but without the seams of connecting two monitors together. And third, cable clutter is reduced to a single cable running to your Mac. Monitors that only have older connections will not be a good fit. Artists and photographers will want to look for high-quality panels with plenty of color coverage.
