Hi!
I'm about to order a Mac Mini with an M4-Pro chip, 48 GB of Memory and a 1TB
SSD, and I can't find any 5K monitor with a 24 to 27-inch Thunderbolt port to
avoid spending the 1,770 euros that the Apple Studio Display costs.
I have tested and returned the LG 32UN88A-W Ultrafine 32/4K because in
addition to being too big, it's a million miles from looking like any Apple
monitor. And it also only has one USB-C port, which is not the same as a
Thunderbolt port.
A few days ago I also returned an iMac 24 with the M4 chip and a 24-inch 4.5K
monitor, which worked very well, but it didn't convince me because it didn't
have an HDMI port, and it had Thunderbolt-4 ports, instead of the new
Thunderbolt-5 ones.
Also,I recently sold an iMAC with a 5K display from 2019, and I really miss
that quality of monitor.
Now I have to buy the Apple Display, which seems excessively expensive to me,
or another brand that is similar... and if something like that doesn't
exist... well, I'm thinking of buying a MacBook-Pro with M4, and maybe one day
find a decent 5K monitor.
QUESTIONS:
1: Has the same thing happened to anyone?
2: Options, experiences...what would you do in my place?
Thank you very much in advance!
MATT.
