Portable monitors for Mac mini 4

Has anyone used a portable monitor with the MacMini M4 you'd be happy to recommend, and how did you connect it? I imagine you'd need a mini port display to connect the Mac mini to the monitor and I'm just wondering where you'd get one that would ensure compatibility between a NON apple monitor and the Mac mini. Is an adapter necessary?

iPhone SE, iOS 18

Since the M4 Mac mini has HDMI 2.1 and Thunderbolt 4/USB-C ports, you should have a number of choices for picking a monitor.. You won't need a Mini DisplayPort adapter — that’s more of a legacy port used on older Macs or older monitors.


Here are some of those choices for you to consider:

  • ASUS ZenScreen MB16AC
  • ViewSonic VA1655
  • Arzopa S1/S1 Table
  • Lepow Z1
