Hi All
I’m thinking of getting a new Mac Mini to replace my 2009 iMac.
What I’m asking is: What would be the best monitor, not Apple to go with this little beast. I’m thing of a 27inch.
Looking forward to your thoughts on the subject.
Regards
Lee

A friend of mine bought one last year. He runs two monitors on his mini, one via the mini display port (Thunderbolt), with an adaptor to HDMI, and one directly via the HDMI port.
Be aware there is no traditional monitor connector on the Mac mini, though there are various adaptors to let you connect DVI and VGA if required. Personally, I would stick with the HDMI route, so any recent LCD panel monitor - or any HD-ready TV with HDMI input - from the big makers will be perfectly usable.
Hope that helps.

Saw this on Lifehacker the other day:

The Yamakasi Catleap looks interesting if you can find one (or are
happy to ship in from South Korea).

Depending on what your priorities are (price, image quality, color accuracy etc.) Eizo http://www.eizo.com/global/ has some impressive products, though they definitely aren’t cheap.

I really like my NEC. multisync EA 231. They have a good range to suit most needs and pockets.
Viewsonic also get very good reports.

Hi
Thank you for your thoughts. The Yamakasi Catleap you can get from Amazon for £344.95 now, so may be worth looking at.
As I said, I’m only thinking about it at present, got to get Christmas out of the way first - but I’ll keep these in mind.
Thank you

The screen I’m currently using attached to my MacBook Pro via a DVI to HDMI adaptor is a Samsung SyncMaster SA350. It has LED backlighting, a rather tacky plastic bezel, and isn’t really adjustable without a shelf to stand it on. It’s 21in diagonal, but it gives full HD. I think I paid around £120 at a local branch of a computer and white goods emporium.
It’s plenty big enough for me, but they make them bigger if you need the real estate.
Cheers

I’ve heard really good things about Dell for big/fast/cheap. I don’t have any specs or model numbers, though. I generally buy Apple monitors and run them into the ground (until the ghosting gets too awful). Considering I bought two 17" flat panels when I started my consultancy 10 years ago, and a pair of 20" panels about 3 years ago, I’ve gotten my money’s worth.
