Monitor for Mac mini 2020

FWIW, I have an 2018 Mac mini, which is basically identical to the new 2020 model. I have it connected to a Dell U2718Q 4K monitor and the display quality is excellent. Like your monitor, mine supports both HDMI and Mini DisplayPort inputs. I have them interconnected via a HDMI 2.0 cable.

However, my Dell supports video at much higher resolutions than yours which only supports 1920 x 1080. Also note that your monitor's ports are:

• A single DisplayPort v1.2 (this standard can support up to 5120 x 2880 @ 30 fps, but is limited by Dell)
• A single HDMI port v1.4 (this standard can support up to 3840 x 2160 @ 30 Hz, and again is limited by Dell)
• A single VGA port

The bottom line? Your new Mac is much more capable than your monitor. Depending on your needs and budget, I would suggest looking into 4K monitors. Either something like my Dell or other brands, like those from LG.

Do you necessarily have to have a monitor? If just a good picture is needed then a flat screen TV would work. Size wise is infinite,

cost also is no factor and the new Mac mini supports 4K over HDMI so connection to TV no problem.

I have a 50" Walmart special(less than $300) that is all I could want.

Hey dude, quick question -- I just received my Mac Mini 2020 as well and when I go to "About this Mac" it tells me Mac Mini (2018)? Does your state that or does yours show 2020? Thanks a ton!! Was curious and am returning mine to Apple.

Not really, it’s the usual marketing people at Apple getting ahead of themselves, confusing everyone. They love spattering “New!” everywhere. Nothing new.

After I replace their marketing Veep, I’m gonna restrict its use. Until then be sure to check here (could be a while).

Hi, how can I know that my Mac mini was built in 2020 just in case there will be one day when I want to sell it. The info shows that, as you can see, Mac mini 2018. How can I prove that it was Mac mini 2020 (apart from the receipt). Thanks.

I looked up the P2219H. This is giving you 1920*1080 resolution(HD), at 22 inches. Perception of screen quality can be calculated by working out the PPI or pixels per inch at https://www.omnicalculator.com/other/pixels-per-inch. This would be considered an entry level monitor, as HD resolution can look a bit stretched at 22 inches.

The solution to this is to get a screen with a higher PPI. In my case I moved from a 24" HD monitor at 92 PPI to a 32" 4K(3840*2160 resolution) monitor at 138 PPI. I am happy with the sharpness at this PPI. You could potentially go smaller than 32" at 4K, and get a higher PPI than I went for. Your choice. Plenty of options e.g 23", 24", 27", 28"

Could you use your old iMac as the screen? Put it in monitor mode?

You better recheck your info there is a new Mac mini

Bottom line: “opting for 22inch screens but may be able to push to 24inch.”

Nope. “opting for 22inch screens but may be able to push to 24inch.”

Mac mini names do not change based on changes to base memory/hard disk capacities, only specs. The specs haven’t changed since 2018. There is no Mac mini 2020.
