However, its brightness isn’t particularly impressive at 350 nits, which takes away from its HDR support – true HDR requires a screen that can deliver a lot of brightness and 350 nits just isn’t enough.
The LG 32UN800-B Ultrafine Ergo offers a 4K resolution with great color accuracy and HDR10 support. The LG 32UN800-B Ultrafine Ergo is a jack-of-all-trades-type of monitor – it does everything it’s supposed to reasonably well, has one or two excellent qualities, and it comes at a reasonable price making it perfect, which perfectly pairs it with the powerful, yet budget-conscious Mac Mini M1. Its USB-C port supports Power Delivery with 65W of power, meaning that you can share the monitor between your Mac Mini and a MacBook Pro. In terms of connectivity, the Asus ProArt Display PA279CV comes with four USB 3.1 ports, one DP port, two HDMI v2 ports, and a single USB-C port, offering all the variety you may need. We would have liked it better if the menu had joystick-type controls, but it’s not a huge issue. However, compared to other monitors of a similar price range, the ASUS ProArt PA279CV isn’t the brightest option out there, so using it in brightly-lit rooms may not be optimal, despite its anti-reflective display.Īnother downside of this model (might seem like a nitpick to some) is its rather fiddly menu – you control the menu via five buttons at the bottom of the monitor, which can make navigating through the menu a rather slow and tedious process. In addition, this monitor offers an impressively-wide viewing angle of 178 degrees. The display itself has a matte, anti-reflective surface that ensures that the colors on the screen would always be displayed with 100% sRGB accuracy. Its buttons are located at the bottom, where you will also find a built-in ruler that can help with photo editing. The monitor has a metallic finish, and it’s placed on a plastic, but sturdy stand. On the outside, this ASUS monitor has a clean and ergonomic design, with very thin bezels, leaving more space for its display. Like the older model, the new PA279CV model offers amazing graphics with accurate and vibrant colors and 4K resolution, but it also comes with twelve preset display modes, making it even better for creators and photo editors.

Note that pretty much every monitor from our list can be used for professional photo and video editing, but some of the more expensive variants offer added perks that make them especially good for this type of work.
In the following list of monitors, we’ve tried to include high-quality options that range from affordable, all-around offerings, to higher-end ones that are specialized for professional use. There’s a lot of variety when it comes to monitors that you can use with your M1 Mini, but to get the best use of your Mac, you should spend some time researching the different options to find the one that is best fitted to your needs.
