![]() Don’t look just at size, look at resolution too there are low resolution displays with large LCDs. My current display (from LG) has two of each port which makes it easy for me to use it with both my mini and notebook. That said, I echo Rudegar’s recommendation for either HDMI or DisplayPort. That’s how I found the last two displays I’ve purchased. My solution has been to visit the big box stores and look at what they have as well as checking out what my friends are using. Making it even more difficult is that most manufacturers have lots of different offerings ranging from amazing to mediocre. There’s a bewildering number of display available with different sizes, resolutions, ports, picture qualities, special features and price points that make it almost impossible to recommend a best monitor. You can still adjust the brightness manually with the monitor controls. I think it's created a shaded transparent window on top of everything that is appearing to dim the display without actually dimming the display. I have to quit the QuickShade app to take a window screenshot. It works but it has a bug with screenshots where I cannot select a window. I found an App called QuickShade that will dim the display but I don't think it's actually dimming the display in the same way. Might have to do with some specific Intel requirements that no longer apply with Apple Silicon. Software workarounds that could use DDC/CI do not work on the Apple Silicon based macOS Big Sur because Apple apparently forgot to implement DDC/CI in their kernel like they did on the Intel kernel. The only downside is it doesn't work with the display brightness buttons on the keyboard. I've resorted to making my own wallpapers by editing dual screen wallpapers merged together to fit. Due to the odd resolution there are not many wallpapers that will fit it properly. The Nintendo Switch uses the built-in speakers via HDMI just fine. I ended up using external speakers connected to the Mac. It has built-in speakers but controlling them is a bit flakey with the Mac Mini. ![]() Works well with my work 15" MacBook Pro 2019 as well an an HP Elitebook X360 1030 G7 Win10 laptop. ![]() You can connect more than one computer to it and it even works with a Nintendo Switch (albeit with black bars on the side). It has ports including Ethernet and acts as a kind of dock and yes the Ethernet works but I don't need it for the Mini but it works fine for the other computers I have connected. I cannot justify the cost of the XDR monitor that is just insanity. I still wish Apple would create some new monitors because I would buy them. Vertically it's 4K but the width is more than 4K. The resolution is about 30% wider than a 4K monitor. I recently purchased the Dell U4021QW 40" curved wide screen 5120 x 2160 monitor connected via USB-C Thunderbolt4 cable on a brand new M1 Mac mini.
