Compatible, affordable monitor with MacBook

[Congressmann]

Hey guys, I tried using my MBA M1 with my Dell SE2419H monitor. Unfortunately, the text is noticeably blurry (apparently due to the low resolution of my monitor).

1. What specifications does a monitor need for it to run with the MBA and not blur the text?
2. Which monitors under $300 are compatible with MBA?

Thanks

Have you messed with the display settings? I would look in there and see if you can change the resolution. I don't have a MBA but I have a Mac mini and a pretty basic 1080P monitor and the text isn't blurry. Mine it set for "Default for display" and "60 Hertz". Hopefully someone with a MBA could chime in here because maybe it's different.

How are you connecting to it? Could be the cable. Lots of people end up buying a separate usb-c to DP/HDMI etc that is capable of 4K at 60hz.
