So I own a MacBook Air M1 and also a desktop Windows PC connected to a 1080p monitor (it’s a DELL u2422H). Since I mostly use only my MBA, I want to ditch my windows pc and use my MBA connected to a monitor instead. I know that my 1080p monitor is not enough for Macs, so my plan was to sell it together with my windows PC so I can buy instead a 4k monitor.

But here comes the problem: I’ve seen so many threads about people having every sort of issues with external monitors connected to Apple silicon MacBooks (mostly flickering), and I’m scared that I will sell my windows pc + monitor to end up with a MBA desk setup that doesn’t work properly…

In particular I’ve seen people having problems with DELL S series monitors (mainly the S2722QC) and also with BENQ PDs series monitors that are supposed to be specifically designed to be compatible with Macs.

I was almost convinced to pull the trigger and buy an LG 4k monitor (model is 27UL500P) but it seems that even with this model some people are having issues.

So to the people who have MacBooks M connected to external monitors, can you share your experiences? Thanks to everyone in advance!
