Hi,
For Photoshop and Mac mini setups, prioritize a 27" to 32" 4K or 5K IPS/OLED monitor featuring 95%+ DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB coverage, hardware calibration support, and a Delta E < 1. Connect via Thunderbolt/USB-C for seamless macOS scaling and color management.
For color accuracy, regardless of any monitor purchase, you really need to purchase a display calibrator. This will create a color map of your display and computer interface so that you genuinely will get a "what you see is what you get" results. They will also account for you environment as that affects what your eyes interpret what the see on the screen. In addition, for color accuracy, you must always work with the same room lighting and all "auto" control features turned off on the Mac (True Color, auto brightness, etc) as well as the display if it has any (i.e. dynamic contrast). They all generally adjust the "perceived" color and luminance on the screen which means the actually colors being manipulated on the image will be based on that and will not appear the same when printed or even posted on the web or even on your own computer an hour later.
All the displays mentioned do not guarantee "color accuracy" with a given set up, the only guarantee that their displays have the capabilities of covering a specified color space which does not necessarily mean color accuracy as previously stated which would get totally thrown of if contrast, brightness, etc. are charged from factory settings.
Suggested monitor's for Color accuracy are BenQ and ASUS AROG series. Of courser there is always Apple's own Studio Display.
