4K UHD TV with Mac mini (2018)

[adrianwilcox]

Hi all... I am looking at upgrading my old 2012 Mac Mini and replacing my VERY old Mac Cinema displays. I was wondering if anyone here has had any experience with using a 4k UHD TV as a display on the new Mac Mini. I largely work in Photoshop and Lightroom and run two monitors right now and I would love to streamline a bit. I know I'm looking for a television with 4k @ 60Hz with chroma 4.4.4 and very low lag, does anyone have any recommendations? Pros/Cons of a TV vs Monitor?

Buy any Sony 4k HDR, it will work !

BRAVIA OLED A1E | OLED | 4K Ultra HD | High Dynamic Range (HDR) | Smart TV

Yeah, that's a little out of the price range I was hoping for. I'd like to stay in the sub-$1000 range.

I have this one at work and I will be getting it for my home setup. Its a 4K HDR IPS display. Looks amazing.

Stick to a monitor for better color management. I have hooked up my mini to my 55" Sony Bravia OLED and ran some UHD/HDR tests but I didn't feel that Mac OS took advantage of the screen real estate. Therefore I use my mini with I a 20" 4K Samsung monitor and things look great.

Hello there

I have a Panasonic OLED (referenced in signature) connected to the mini. It is not compatible with HDR so I had to buy an Apple TV 4K (with Infuse Pro, awesome app) to take advantage of HDR content.

I have heard about burn-in also with OLED but so far since I bought the TV in October, I haven't seen any. So a LED or LCD might be a better choice.
