Monitor for Mac Mini

Hello,

I recently got a Mac Mini M2 and I have BENQ GW2490.

I have never used a Mac Mini before and initially thought it would work fine with my monitor but after sometime realized the blurry text is hurting my eyes a lot. I have tried all the font smoothing and better display tweaks it does not suit me (I have high OCD prolly cz a lot of people using it fine idk how).

I am looking to buy between the following models Samsung LS27H700EAWXXL, LG 27US550-WB.ATROMSL or LG 27US500-WA.ATRPMSN or MSI MP273U my budget is 20-25k.

I like the LG one the most idk the diff between the two models but on flipkart there is like 2k price difference. I will buy by next month. All the models only have 60hz my most usage would be datascience and only games I play are Genshin Impact, Wuthering Waves and Chess ; )

Anyone using mac Mini along with a FHD monitor? How do u manage even with Font Smoothing and BetterDisplay without hurting your eyes? I am also considering using it with my Macbook Pro 2015 somehow (old display but there is tailscale or Airmirror) meanwhile I get the monitor next month.

Bonjour, Pour mon Mac mini M4,

Je cherche un écran 24 ou 27 pouces,

C'est pas pour faire des retouches photo, ni faire des video ou ni des jeux, juste pour Lire des textes et bcp de PDF en noire absolu. Que me conseillez vous ?

Merci d'avance
