Considering the new mini mac but not sure what type of monitor is best to use or if they are compatible with Apple products. Does Apple make just monitors? Like the portability since my iMac 27'' is too big to bring back and forth to places.
Apple did provide monitors, but they don't currently ... at least, not Apple-branded ones. Currently their on-line store offers an LG 5K model.
Taken directly from Apple Specifications for this mini model, the following are the mini's video support features:

The key then would be to determine your goals for the resolutions that you want supported and your budget. Also be aware of the any store's return policies, in case the monitor does not work out for you.

Any name brand monitor that accepts HDMI, or DisplayPort or miniDP should be fine. Thunderbolt 3 or usb-c native monitors should also be fine, they’re just less common. Any cables or adapters you may need are readily available online as well.
I have a pair of Dell U2715H monitors (27”, 2560x1440) connected to my 2018 Mac mini using a pair of cables I got on Amazon that go directly from the monitors DisplayPort input port to the mini’s Thunderbolt 3 ports. My other monitor is a 32” Samsung (also 2560x1440) that connects fine to the mini via those same cables or HDMI.
Of course, other monitor brands and resolutions will also work fine but I only have those three in my house to speak about directly. I am also using a Logitech C925e as a FaceTime and MS Teams webcam with it, along with a usb Samson Go mic so I don’t have to use a headset. My keyboard is a Logitech 750 solar wireless and a Logitech wireless mouse connected by the Logitech USB universal connector/dongle.
Peripherals by and large should not be an issue, and if you see a monitor or something else you’d like to use, check the web for reviews using it with Mac OS on a T2 chip Mac, or post here and ask others if they’ve used that make or model of peripheral.
Thanks for all the info. I had an old mini mac when it first came out and the dell monitor just didn't seem to work. Or maybe it was the keyboard. CAn't remember but it was frustrating.
The new mini mac looks might be an option.
I had 2 2009 iMacs - 27'' but both have crapped out. One is fixed - for now. Other one still deciding if I should fix or go for a mini mac with 2 displays (one for each location).
thanks.
If you are still looking for good options then I have just found few here https://www.thecrazybuyers.com/best-monitor-for-mac-mini/ after googling it.
Other than this you can also find monitor having the specs that Michael Black said.
Apple also sells an LG 4K monitor
Thanks ... I missed that.
