RESOLVED $400 or less display that works with M1 Mac Mini and Windows laptop

I need separate Mac and PC systems here for work and design, light video etc.

Thanks!

Thank you Lynn.

I'd actually want smaller than 27", 4k is fine. I've been told elsewhere here that I should probably look at Thunderbolt 3 for connectivity and obviously, macOS compatibility (cannot return displays, so I'd like to get it right).

There are a lot of discussions going on about display and display issues in Mac Mini forum.

I saw one or two there but thought I would ask out here.

UGH. I see what you were talking about with monitor problems.

No Mac Mini then...

Thanks again for posting here.
