Hai,
Am after a decent screen for my Mac mini. My current one has a warped stand and wobbles.
I want something over 19", I was thinking something like a 22" which won't seriously break the bank.
If you can, post links to decent screens at (half-)decent prices and I'll have a look.

(Don't bother with the crappy ones like Mikomi or Nikkai or any of them because they don't last and always turn out to be crappy :P)

I find Staples are good for monitors, especially with the 10% off you get with the Staples card :) You can get one when you pay for it and they usually take the 10% off after you've done it and paid.

My brother got an Acer 22" which Staples are now selling for... £149.99. The 24" version is £249.99. I have the 19" one and they are very good monitors :) But best look around on ebuyer for deals first :P

I would look at Dell Monitors, they seem to be good. Especially the widescreen ones.

Maximum is 24", I believe.


Maximum of 1920x1200 aka Full HD, aka 24" widescreen

Quoted from the thread I made on macrumors asking :P

I'm now very confused.
Can someone tell me what the max. screen size (inches) a 1.83Ghz Mac mini can take?
Also, what can the MacBook White take? I'm getting one of them and trading my Mini in for Xmas.

Cheers for those links N!ck, will probably go for the LG one. :P

I was thinking about getting a 24" Apple LED Display, but I think they only work on the new MacBook/Pro family? Can anyone confirm? Also, when compared to non-Apple 24" displays, they're about 4-5x more expensive...

Dont get a apple screen if i am honnest they suck response rate is terrible. And new ones only work on the new mb/mpb.

It can deffo support a 23 as apple offer it as a option when you buy the macbook


The largest monitor Apple makes with the resolution supported by the MacBook is the 23" Apple Cinema Display.

You could in theory run a 1 kilometre display if it had the same resolution.

The Apple 23" Cinema Display HD and Dell's 24" 2407 have the same 1920x1200 resolution.
