I no longer like 60Hz monitors. Even 75 is not that great. 120 is way better on my eyes. And 240 is just like butter, especially for racing and other gaming pursuits.

I went window-shopping with my son a couple of years back, and they had this $3000 monitor on display. I'd never understood until then why anybody would spend so much on one, but I did after being told to clean up all the drool.

WTF ever. You have to factor in the Windows bullshit coefficient, which is about .68.
These days it's not uncommon for me to have Adobe AE, Premiere, and Media Encoder, all open with projects at once. My Surface would start to smell like burning plastic if I had tried that.

That is not the fault of the OS.

Only happens on Windows machines for me, never Macs. So, gonna stick with the latter.

Well, I was hoping for at least a 27" screen, but nope. It's at 24."
Multiple colors.
M1 chip.
4 ports (2 of which are thunderbolt).
Headphone jack on the side of the computer? What the hell?
Still has a chin.
Uses a power brick which will rout ethernet to the Mac.
Keyboard has Touch ID.
1080p camera.
"4.5K display"
That Mac Mini is looking better and better.

Here's an interesting gadget:

Interesting, indeed, but I guess if one wants to use that thing, one needs to buy the right monitor. I think most monitors won't work with it because something is in the way (including the one I bought).

If it's VESA compatible, it should work, shouldn't it? Unless the ports are that close to where the VESA plate would go.

Also be careful with weight distribution ... an additional Mac mini attached to the back of a monitor just might tip it over backwards without additional support. An interesting concept nonetheless. Good luck!

The main problem is that most monitors look like this on the back.
Ah, I see your point.

I guess in particular you can rule out all monitors with adjustable height.
