Replacing 17" 2011 MBP with M1 Mac mini - Monitor w Webcam / Mic & Speakers?

[Waynetc]

Hello - It's time to upgrade my 17" MBP with that I use as my primary Mac, running with multiple monitors.

The 16" MBP screen is not large enough for my needs.

Has anyone been able to find an 'all in one monitor' (webcam, mic speakers) that would connect to the M1 Mac mini (or the previous generation) or since I use the 17" as a desktop would I be better off with a 2020 iMac?

Thank you for your assistance

I am planning to connect 2 monitors to my M1 Mac mini - a new LG 27UL500 4K HD monitor, and my old 27" Apple Thunderbolt Display, using an adapter.

The Thunderbolt Display has camera and excellent speakers, and though it's not HD, is still looks great, with a resolution of 2560 x 1440. I picked it up second hand for a good price a year ago, and have been using it on my Mid 2012 MBP 15".

Thank you so much - I forgot about that display and I do see plenty on the used market.

FYI, it seems the m1 mac minis are having issues with external webcams.
