Monitor for new M4 Mac Mini

Hello, I’ve pre-ordered the new M4 Mac Mini, and I’m looking for a suitable monitor within a limited budget. The variety of options available where I live is also restricted.


This is my first Mac device. I’ve always used Windows laptops. I only recently learned that choosing the right monitor was important, and I’m finding it very difficult to figure it all out.


I’ve been researching monitors that would work compatibly with the Mac Mini for hours, and I could really use some help.


I’ve found a monitor that I like and that fits my budget. If I purchase this monitor, can I use it smoothly with the Mac Mini?


LG 27UP650P-W UHD 4K IPS


• Screen resolution: 3840 x 2160

• Connection options: DisplayPort 1.4, 2 x HDMI (2.0), 3.5 mm headphone jack

Hi,

As shared in another thread, I'm not too happy with the more limited resolution choices my Mini M4 offers.

I'm using Thunderbolt 3 and connecting to an LG 5k monitor. This is great on my M1 MBP, but it isn't on my Mini M4.


Would using a DisplayPort cable make a difference perhaps?

Or even HDMI? This might be a silly question; I'm looking for a solution, though.


Thanks in advance,
