Comment on Ask HN: Best monitor for a MacBook Pro for ~US$700?

Comments

I can recommend the LG 27UN880P. I have two workstations and bought the same panel for the second workstation.

The main features are a sweet spot of 27" screen size, pixel density, and a charging USB-C cable to connect the monitor to the laptop. It has a speaker, but the quality of that speaker could be better.

The main con of all non-apple monitors is scaling. You can buy monitors with low pixel density to match the scaling, but the text quality will be similar to a standard office monitor. Then, there are middle-range monitors with above-average pixel density, which require adjusting interface scaling in Mac OS settings. On the higher end, apple & collab monitors with Retina pixel density for x2-5 the price.

This!

My standard setup is two LG 27UN880P, with two LG 27UP650P in a 2x2 configuration.
