#BEST MONITORS FOR MAC PRO FULL#
It supports HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, but since the new MacBook Pro is limited to HDMI 2.0 bandwidth, you can't take full advantage of the monitor.
You can connect to the monitor either through its USB-C input that supports DisplayPort Alt Mode or by its HDMI inputs if you have the 5th generation MacBook Pro or have an older model with an adapter. The high 4k resolution helps deliver clear text, and the 32 inch screen offers a lot more screen real estate than the MacBook Pro. Although designed for gamers, it has many productivity features if you want to connect your MacBook Pro, and it offers great performance for the office. The best 4k monitor we've tested for the MacBook Pro is the Gigabyte M32U. Also, check out our recommendations for the best monitors, the best ultrawide monitors, and the best monitors for Mac Mini. We've tested more than 220 monitors, and below are our recommendations for the best monitors for MacBook Pro to purchase. If you run into any issues using a monitor when connected to a MacBook, please let us know in the discussions. At this time, we don't officially test for compatibility but we expect our recommendations to work with the MacBook Pro. Also, in the past MacBook Pros worked best with monitors that had a pixel density of around 110 or 220 PPI, but we've confirmed that they can still work with higher pixel densities, so our recommendations focus on USB-C support, as well as other factors like ergonomics, brightness, and viewing angles.ĭue to numerous complaints of compatibility issues and Dell's unwillingness to offer support to those affected, we've removed all Dell monitors from our list of recommendations for the time being and until the situation is resolved. If you want to get a monitor for more screen space, you'll want one that supports USB-C with power delivery, which allows you to connect your MacBook Pro to the display and charge it using a single cable. Sometimes you may find that using a laptop screen like on the MacBook Pro is too small.
