  • Can someone recommend me a new monitor, it'll be my main screen, don't want to spend > £150 probably. Used for PC and Mac users in the house.
    And if you could recommend a small form pc that could stick to the back of it / is it worth sticking a mac mini there and which one - that would be great (mainly powerpoint creating, and other writing words type tasks).

  • Prime day will be on 24 March (I think) so if you're not desperate then wait.

    I paid £170 for this

    Lenovo Q27q-1L 27 Inch Wide Quad HD (1440p) Gaming Monitor (IPS Panel, 75Hz, 4ms, HDMI, DP, AMD FreeSync) - Tilt Stand, Iron Grey https://amzn.eu/d/8DjqM02

    If you can find this or a substantially similar one I'd recommend it. My OH uses it with an Anker hub and M2 MBP. Goldielocks size for home. Looks fairly nice and from my research asking on here 2560 x 1440 is fine for 27" - I think the size is an important consideration as having it at a size where you won't see the benefit of 4k means you effectively get a "better" resolution for your money... if that word salad makes any sense.

    Personally I find having built-in speakers semi useful, as you can pop a Chromecast in the back and use it as a TV now and then.
