I think it will!I'm planning on buying an M1 Mac Mini. I currently have a 2009 Mac Mini with a 20" Cinema Display from 2003. The monitor is old but still looks cool but I'll need a new monitor with the new Mac Mini.
Will this Dell in the link work with the M1 Mac Mini? It's 4K.

Can't say I've ever noticed any obvious blurriness with my FHD and QHD displays. It looks the same as it does on Windows computers. I've been using these monitors for years for text-based work.With the removal of subpixel antialising, it’s clear that MacOS is now built to be used with Apple displays. Full stop. I learned the hard way.
If you are running MacOS on an Apple laptop or an iMac, you’ll have a great experience. Run it on anything less than a 4K monitor and you will be in for a world of pain.
Text is so blurry. Even the desktop wallpapers look terrible. Video is mostly fine, about the same as Windows. But man, the text. Just incredibly blurry and pixelated.
Well... that screen grab you posted is fuzzy, for a start...Calm down, Beyonce. I have not one but two -- TWO!! -- 27" 1080P displays on my M1 mini and they look juuuust fine.
I'm gonna need for you to go pour yourself a drink and relax.
Unless you are using a 5K monitor you are all lying to yourselves
Ouch! I tried my 16 inch M1 Pro MBP plugged into a 43 inch 4K LG TV and the text looked painfully blurry to me, compared to what I was used to on my 24 inch iMac.Is it as pin sharp as parents 4K 39” tv. No, but is still clear output on my TV.
No snobbery. I bought a $1300 LG 4K and the blacks were gray. Everything was faded compared to the 5K retina. Endless numbers of members here have posted similar comments about 4K monitors. Maybe it's an issue of having standards?View attachment 1988416
Not a 5K monitor, perfectly legible. (Dell U3011 ultrasharpe, mojave).
Is there a bunch of monitor snobbery going on around here
Or maybe it's just that some of us are more sensitive to certain things than others. I have had an iPad mini 6 since day 1 of their release and I have never once perceived the "jelly scrolling" issue. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist, it just means that it exists below my personal threshold for detection. OTOH, I notice the slightest blurriness of text, where others might not. Again, I suspect it's at least partly due to a difference in detection threshold.No snobbery. I bought a $1300 LG 4K and the blacks were gray. Everything was faded compared to the 5K retina.

No, but a lot of examples of people clearly needing to think about getting their eyes tested ?View attachment 1988416

Not sure where you are going with that. But based on your previous comment somehow getting a 5K monitor fixes those issues. ?♂️No snobbery. I bought a $1300 LG 4K and the blacks were gray.

Unfortunately, I had to return the Mac Mini as I don’t like large monitors and the only options for a reasonable price are 27”.
How do I find out what ppi it has? I don't see it in the description.I think it will!
My wife bought the Dell S2722QC 4K monitor a couple of weeks ago for her home office w10 laptop and I was really curious to see how it would look (163ppi) on our m1 macs since I've read all alarming reports on how horrible everything looks. I've since learned that it is all mostly hyperbole because the m1 mba with monterey handles the screen just perfectly.
We connect it thru USB C and you get 5 options of resolutions and they all look fine, with of course the "x2" option being the best (but a bit boring when it comes to screen real estate). I didn't even bothered to install the Dell Display tools!
The biggest surprize is that the w10 HP laptop doesn't like it at all! It defaults to 1920 x 1200 resolution on w10 (only option too, tinkering with the w10 display settings doesn't change anything) and everything really is as "blurry and pixelated" as the OP says about the mac (but isn't the case on this and the 3 monitors I have access to).
The w10 work laptop is heavily locked down so there's nothing we are allowed to install to fix this issue but I will check if a factory reset of the screen will give us any new start up options on w10 (we saw that we got that on first start up but didn't change anything since it looked so good on the mac and just assumed it would on w10 too)
Unfortunately it was discontinued several years ago. I had my eye on it for a long time, and now that I have e the money to buy one it’s no longer fur sale.Dell do a 24" 4k.
You read what I wrote or you click on the "Tech Specs"-tab and then click on "See more tech specs"-link down to the left on the Dell website for each monitor.How do I find out what ppi it has? i don't see it in the description.
That is not surprising....I know exactly what the OP is referring to, and it's not just the Mini. Here's a thread showing how my M1 MBA looked absolutely AWFUL connected to a Dell D3218HN 31.5" 1080p display, yet my Windows computer displayed perfectly sharp on the same monitor. Once I bought an LG 4K monitor for my MBA, the problem was solved. But the M1 MBA was basically unusable with the 1080p Dell monitor.
MacBook looks awful on external monitor
At work, I now use a 2-way HDMI switcher to connect both our Windows 10 PC and my MacBook Air to one 32" 1080p display and I switch between them using the button the switcher. For some reason, my Windows 10 PC looks nice and crisp on the display, but the MacBook's output looks awful in...forums.macrumors.com
That is not surprising....
1080p on a 32" is just wrong, it's basically a tv.
My old 24" monitors where 1920x1200.
I just checked and it's 163 ppi.You read what I wrote or you click on the "Tech Specs"-tab and then click on "See more tech specs"-link down to the left on the Dell website for each monitor.
Fair enough if it does the job....?Yet my Windows machine looks nice and sharp on it. Mac looks awful on it. In fact, I'm still using my Windows machine with it as we speak. Perfectly fine display - nothing "wrong" at all about it. The issue is the Mac, not the display.
(yes, as i wrote in my post )I just checked and it's 163 ppi.
There's a good tool for that, check it outHow do I find out what ppi it has? I don't see it in the description.
