Monitor for a MacBook Air

[burnside]

All,

Thinking of getting one for my daughter for her schoolwork. She is doing some digital arts subjects so I think it would be beneficial.

Any recommendations for makes / models / sizes.

Kind regards,

Ben

IIRC the Air has a fairly low-res display (1440x900) but can drive a higher resolution external display, so you'll see a useful bump in the number of pixels if you go that route.

Full HD monitors (1920x1080) are cheap as chips these days, but you might like to jump up to the next level and go for QHD (2560x1440), this looks like good value for money:

Do check on connectivity though - I think the Airs are light on ports, the monitor above has a DP connection which may plug straight in.

Dell make some decent monitors, this one also has an IPS panel which will be nice if your daughter's doing graphics type work but not so good for gaming..

Cheers,

Plug

Have a look at Dell 27" ISP panels.

Many thanks, could to get some informed suggestions.

Depends on the budget but if you are after something on the cheaper side then AOC do some pretty decent IPS monitors and the bezels are quite thin.

Example in a 27”

Budget is around £200 or so.
