4K monitor for 2018 MacBook Pro

Anyone have a rec for 4K monitor with some of the best features of the pricey Apple 5K version? I like the USB-C connector, and the 27” size. Maybe the laptop charging feature. My main use is photo editing.

MacBook Air (2018 or later)

Monitor Recommendation: M2 Mac Mini Looking for recommendations for a monitor to pair with a new M2 Mac Mini. I am not a gamer nor do I work intensively with photo or video enhancements. I do need to clearly see menus to surf the web and view my photo galleries. 32" max, 28" would likely be acceptable. I see no need to go beyond 4K and don't know if I need that! Please advise me pros and cons of 4K and also what features would be needed and what features would be nice to have. Thanks!

Which monitor should I buy for my Mac mini? Hello everyone I just bought a mac mini and still had a 1080p DELL brand monitor on my desk. I edit photos and videos in 4k. I knew I was going to buy another monitor, but there are so many 4k monitors on the internet. I see all the good comments under each monitor, but really don't know which one to buy. So I thought I'd ask the community. I just want a decent 4k monitor with nice colors and a smooth image. Can you help me? Kind regards Johan Nierman

do some research on this relatively inexpensive Display about how to connect with what dongle. Dell U2718Q. I been using it for 1.5 years with a Thunderbolt Display on all my MBPros pre-2016 and my late 2013 Mac Pro with ZERO problems. My connection is minidisplayport to DisplayPort.
