Those are 4k displays? Look like 3440x1440 ultrawides to me....
Got a tip for us?

I’m using a 2018 9.7” iPad. As for using it as a workspace, the screen is just too small. I can write a book on it, but any photo manipulation or formatting needs more screen-estate.
They're lovely to work on, lots of realestate.. Get one ordered, you won't be dissapointed.
Because I haven't gotten around to adding RAM yet, I'm running a 32" Asus 4k monitor on 8GB, also with no issues.
You are correct sir.
Still.... they are beautiful and priced right for a Thunderbolt 3 Display.
Mac mini 2018 i7 512 ssd 16 GB ram. Samsung t5 1 TB usb-c ssd (hidden) for work files and Lacie Porsche design 5Tb usb-c ssd (on top of Mac mini) for time machine.
Currently residing on my Mac mini 2012 i7. Still need to transfer some stuff.
Using Presonus Studio One Pro 4 with a Presonus Quantum thunderbolt interface.
All performing flawlessly with minimum latency.
The screen is a Samsung S32D850T.
Studio monitors are Equator D8 mark II and PA speakers are Yamaha DXR10's.

I love this look. What brand is the screen? What resolution is it? Is that keyboard of apple?
Indeed.
Dell S2791DC USB C monitor (2560 x 1440) - Resolution does me just fine
Microsoft Surface Keyboard
Logitech MX Master Mouse.
Base Mac Mini 2018, Logitech Wired Mouse, Mechanical Keyboard, Cheap speakers, Logitech Microphone, Cheap Samsung HD 20 inch monitor. My wife is very happy with it though I will probably upgrade the monitor to 25 inch QHD one of these days.
Anyone able to put a monitor on top of a Mac mini? Is that ok? I have a Dell 2415Q and think it would look cleaner if this is ok...?
It weighs just under 12 pounds. I don't think I would do that on a new Mini, stacking a few portable drives is one thing but a 12 pound monitor could be different results.
Understood. Is there any people that currently put the monitor on top of the mini?
Couldn't you get a monitor stand that is lower profile that you could place over the mini? That way you achieve space saving you want and not directly place the monitor on the mini.
I have had my Acer 25” 1440p monitor on top of my 2012 mini since I bought the monitor.

That looks good-and saves space. Can’t imagine those older monitors were any lighter then the ones today so I guess I should be fine. Besides I don’t think it obstructs the fan from

I still much prefer my setup... my new 4K LG monitor is mounted on an under-counter VESA mount and my Mac Mini is standing against the wall behind it... no weight on the Mini, and the monitor is at the perfect height for my work...and I've only lost about 4" of my desk space with this configuration.
BTW, the angle in this photo is grossly distorted to show the under the counter mount... when workin, my line of sight has the top of the monitor perfectly aligned with the bottom of the overhead cabinet.
