Switching Monitors For Video Mac To The

Some monitors are a bit better-suited for Mac users, including USB-C connectivity, making it easy to connect your Mac to the monitor.

Also, macOS works best with monitors that have around 110 or 120 PPI pixel density, as it affects the scaling of certain user interface elements.

As such, our recommendations will prioritize optimal performance over connectivity options, so some of the picks may not include a USB-C port.

At this time, we dont test for compatibility; if you run into any issues using a monitor when connected to a Mac Mini, please let us know in the discussions below.

Its primarily designed for gaming, but that doesnt mean that it cant perform just as well for productivity tasks.

Its 27 inch screen is great for multitasking, and the 1440p resolution delivers images and text with clarity.

Its peak brightness is enough to overcome glare and has pretty decent reflection handling.

This IPS panel has wide viewing angles, which is great for sharing work with coworkers; however, like most IPS monitors, it has a rather mediocre contrast ratio, making blacks look grayish in the dark.

Response time is excellent when using it at its native 144Hz refresh rate, and although its a bit slower at 60Hz, it shouldnt be noticeable for most people.

Input lag is equally outstanding, and it supports FreeSync if you want to use it for some gaming on the side.

It also doesnt have any USB ports, but it comes with integrated speakers, and its backlight is flicker-free.

Overall, this is still the best monitor for Mac that weve tested.

Its ergonomics arent as good as the ASUS TUF VG27AQ, but it has a much better contrast ratio because of its VA panel.

Although mainly designed as a gaming monitor, it has great color accuracy, great coverage of the Adobe RGB color space used in photo editing, and it displays a wide color gamut for HDR content.

Unfortunately, it has narrow viewing angles, which is expected from a VA panel, and even though it has a local dimming feature, it performs terribly.

Its a large 34 inch screen with a 21:9 aspect ratio, which provides plenty of extra horizontal screen space for multitasking.

Its 1440p resolution keeps the pixel density high, resulting in clear text and sharp images.

It handles reflections decently well and gets bright enough to fight glare in most rooms.

Its 144Hz refresh rate can be overclocked up to 160Hz, which makes scrolling through long documents or webpages look silky smooth.

It has great out-of-the-box color accuracy and has excellent coverage of the Adobe RGB color space, which is great for content creators.

It isnt the best for dark rooms as it has a low contrast ratio that makes blacks look gray.

On the upside, it has a flicker-free backlight that can help reduce eye strain.
