Buying a 27" 4K monitor for the M1

[DonRoger]

I'm about to buy a monitor for the M1, but I wonder if I can use a 27" 4K (LG 27UL850) properly without scaling. Or am I better off buying a 32" 4K?

I bought the M1 16GB ram with 512GB.

Waiting for opinions. I want a 34 or 36 curved 4k for my new M1 Mini (If it ever arrives - Apple keeps sending me emails moving the delivery back) Also 16GB and 512.

What's your budget?

I went for a 32" curved 1440p model that does 120Hz.

Around 450 euro's, I can push it to 500 (maybe a few euro's more).

The LG will fit nicely in that budget and the HDR is supposed great on that model.

Sorry, but the 27 or the 32?

Alright, I saw some problems with scaling a 27 inch monitor. Here are some topics: Link 1Link 2Link 3

What do you think about this?

Not experiencing any of those issues on mine.

Check the Mac accessories subs...there are lots of threads on various 4k (and 5k) options and how they're working with the M1 machines.
