Nearly every discussion about monitors for Mac mini is dominated by people using multiple monitors.

Are there anyone using single monitor set-ups?

I use a HP Z27, and am very happy with it (I already have separate computer speakers), but looking forward to an upgrade at some point.

I'm using 1920 X 1080 resolution because I'm old. I can sort of work at 2560x1440, but it's not real comfortable.
 
I have been using a BenQ PD3200Q 32" QHD (2560 x 1440) screen at its native resolution on my 2018 Mini for a year and a half. Still really happy with this screen, I am 72 and this combination of screen size/resolution provides very readable text.

Now, the 2018 Mini can struggle with scaled resolutions, so I wanted a screen that could run at its native resolution and provide around 100 ppi. I gather that the M1 Mini has no problems with scaled resolutions.

Good to know there is a combo that would give me the ample screen space of 2560 x 1440 without making me squint like Mr. Magoo! There’s hope!
