MacBook Pro 16" M1 Pro Max monitor advise requested

[Flying-Dutchman]

Hi all,

 

I've got a M1 Pro Max MBP 16". So I do have DP 1.4 but HDMI 2.0. I currently have the Eizo EV3895-WT Curved and a 24" Eizo EV2460-WT, which are nice screens, but in my work I find that the wideness is perfect, but the height could have been better. I'm mainly coding, working with diagrams, databases, large excels, etc. and I edit from time to time movies/clips. I'm not much of a gamer, but would be nice to be able to do so. I do also consume media (youtube, etc.) on this machine. A replacement monitor doesn't need to be curved to be honest. Depends a bit.

 

I've been looking what could be a good replacement, but it's hard to find large monitors on display nowadays in shops. The Aorus FO48U seems to be liked by many, but I read very mixed reviews on the productivity usability of this monitor. I was also wondering if maybe a TV would be an option, but left this idea as I don't have HDMI 2.1 and I think that 60Hz with HDMI would cause stuff to be too laggy.

 

I think I want to sell my Eizo's and put 1 48" (or around that size) screen back. Also to regain a little desk space back as the 24" is now standing aside my curved 38" and it clips basically a whole 45 degree corner of my desk regarding useability.

 

Please let me know your thoughts. 

 

Thanks!!!!

I'm not sure what do you mean by '60Hz with HDMI would cause stuff to be too laggy'...

 

if you NEED more than 60Hz you either:

- not use HDMI 2.0 @ 4K/60Hz, but go down to 1440p/120Hz for example;

- USB-C to HDMI 2.1

- USB-C to DP 1.3+

@rikitikitavi Thanks for the link. Gonna go there. I mean, the 60Hz of my current screen is feeling laggy compared to the built-in screen in the MBP. I'm so not sure if I should get a monitor or just a tv...
