iPad External display for iPad

[primac]

Hi there,


My son will be using an iPad A16 for his studies, and I’d like to connect a 27" external monitor to make things more comfortable for him.


I’ve read that 4K displays don’t always work that well with iPads, and that in some cases, a 2K monitor might actually perform better. Is that true?


I understand that a 5K display would offer the best experience, but it’s just too expensive right now.


Would it be a big issue to go with a 2K display that has 109 PPI, compared to a 4K display with 163 PPI?


Also, is there anything else I should keep in mind when choosing a monitor for the iPad?


Thanks!

This iPad technically supports a monitor, but only mirrors the iPad display. So it will be in 4:3 on the external monitor, instead of a second display in 16:9 in up to 5k.
