27”/32” Monitor for M1 Pro?

[NewMacUser_M1]

Any recommendations for a 27 or 32 inch monitor under $400 US for the M1 pro?

I’m looking at Dell S2721QS, AOC U2790VQ, LG 32UL500-W but I have no clue how they are with the new Macs. Any other suggestions to look at or a recommendation for one of these?

I use the LG 27UK850 with my M1 Pro and have been pleased.

$240 Best Buy open box 4K 32" UHD

​ ​ ​ Open Box - Samsung - UJ59 Series U32J590UQN​

When it was on sale for $269 -now it's gone up!

Only complaint is the blacks are not really black.

That may be a bit over my budget. I’m not seeing it under $400.

LG makes the best monitors & TV's imo.

The 27UK650 is just as good if you don't care about the USB-C connectivity.

I've been super happy with my Dell U2717D, so I'd presume the newer U2719D is also a good choice. I'm using it with a Caldigit TS3+.

See https://www.dell.com/en-us/work/shop/dell-ultrasharp-27-monitor-u2719d/apd/210-arcv

Personally I prefer QHD (1440p) at 27", user interface is the "right" size.

While I haven't personally tried a 4K 27", it seems the non-integer scaling risks a performance hit, and I've not been at all unhappy just using a native 1440p display without any scaling. Love to try a 27" 5K display sometime but hasn't been worth the $$$ to me yet.

This thread is perhaps worth a read:

I found a mint Apple Thunderbolt monitor that works great. Not only does it give me the same resolution as my 5k iMac, but it delivers an ethernet port and several USB A ports. (usb2, of course) I see one every now and then in the used computer stores and the price depends on the physical looks of the box. Mine was $375.

What’s most important to you??

4K resolution or up to 165Hz refresh rate??

27” and 32” Monitors are generally either 4K/60fps or 1440p/165fps today.

Thank you. I was trying to determine the similar model without usb-c.

Don’t care much for refresh rate. Will not be gaming on it.

That seems to be about the same price as the 850 on Amazon.
