Monitor Recommendations for MBP M1 USB-C Connection

27" monitor recommendations for MacBook Pro M1. $500(ish) budget. Using mostly for photoshop and internet. Tend to keep my computers a LONG time. I've been reading about resolution issues on the 4K monitors and it has me confused. Don't necessarily want to understand the science, just want something simple and EXCELLENT. Thanks for any help.

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 12.4

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!

Monitor for Mac Mini M2 I am thinking about purchasing a Mac Mini M2 but don't know which monitor to get. I am not a gamer and will be doing basic office productivity and photo/movie editing. I think something in the 24-27 inch range would be good. Do I need a monitor with Thunderbolt 4? Here's one I looked at, but maybe it's more than I need? Acer - Nitro XV275K P3biipruzx 27" Mini LED UHD 3840 x 2160 FreeSync Premium Gaming Monitor with 160Hz – 1ms – HDR1000 Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Under budget, high quality, single cable powers your MBP as well.

Many thanks. Also looking at the LG 27UN850-W which is around $450. Will check them both out.

My son just recently bought the baseline version studio display. That thing is gorgeous!

If I decide to go to an external monitors for my 2016 MBP that's what I'm ordering.

Thanks for your input. I'm sure the studio display is gorgeous but a little over 3 times my budget. Maybe someday.
