So when you want to plug in a USB-A devices you have to crouch under your table?Please, keep in mind that nothing is visible, so I didn't taped it with simmetry on mind!

Yes. It's not that bad...So when you want to plug in a USB-A devices you have to crouch under your table?
Depends on how often you need to plug things in and out.Yes. It's not that bad...
Why do you have it scaled for "looks like 1440p"? Why not run it at full 4K?Actually it is scaled for "looks like 1440p". I use the Dock in its minimum size, with magnification effect. That's why you think it's small. 😃

The 8K HDMI Cable was a suggestion under this thread and will advise you to buy one, the shortest as possible. I tried the USB-C output, using multiple cables, USB-C - Display Port, HDMI-HDMI, USB-C - HDMI, multiples dongles and whatever. The only thing that worked solid rock was that 8K cable. And I mean seriously: buy it as soon as possible.
The Display does wake from sleep with no issues.
Because tiny text and UI.Why do you have it scaled for "looks like 1440p"? Why not run it at full 4K?

Never mind, I misread. 😅Neither the 4K or 1080p scaling options would affect GPU performance.
But in my experience ”looks like 1440p” doesn’t makes any difference in my usage.
I'm about to buy a Mac Mini. I considered an iMac but I've been using a Mac Mini for a few years and as you said it's cheaper to upgrade.Aha, yeah, the dock looks tiny 😅 You can just hide it as well
Why as short as possible? I found one on sale at a local store with 0,5 meter cable. Is that short enough?
Regardless, thanks for the tip, really! I've been nervous about this with waking up the display and flicker, so it feels good to know what to do from the start. 👍 I assume Windows and other devices work flawlessly regardless of the cable with any display. 😁 So there I don't have to think about it. If I want to try USB-C, a cable is usually included anyway.
I'm aware of the problems with the M1 Mac but it doesn't feel as bad if there are solutions and the Mac mini is quite cheap (seen good price drops too). Also cheaper to upgrade in the future than if I had chosen the iMac (which I have considered).
Can an older 2009 Mac Mini be connected to a 4K monitor. I'll be getting a new Mac Mini but I still need be able to use my older 2009 Mac Mini for certain programs. I plan on hooking both Macs to a new 4K monitor.
Is there an HD(1920 x 1080) monitor that the Mac Mini works on?
There are but they won't look very pretty.
The issue is that subpixel antialiasing is not available from Big Sur onwards. Apple no longer optimizes MacOS for low res monitors.
I'm not quite sure what involves but the gist is that my 20" Dell monitor (1080p) that looked perfectly fine on my 2012 Mini looked blurry on my 2020 M1 Mini.
I mis-remembered.I have a 20 inch 1,600 x 1,200 monitor that I haven't used in a long time and it may be worth hooking it up to see how it looks. My guess is that it wouldn't look very good as I've been using high resolution monitors for about 10 years now. The old monitor has been on the floor in the basement for a long time.
The subpixel antialiasing is not available in Big Sur or after Big Sur?There are but they won't look very pretty.

Nope it's gone.The subpixel antialiasing is not available in Big Sur or after Big Sur?
Is Catalina the last OS to support subpixel antialiasing?Nope it's gone.

Which Apple Display 20" do you have? Is it an ADC display?I have the MacMini M1 with an Apple Thunderbolt 27 display, about 10 years old, looks amazing and has a hub and sound is fantastic.
To the HDMI port I have an old Apple Display 20" looks great also.
