Looking into the Mac mini’s. Right now my computer and PS5 share the same monitor on the same desk. I’d like to upgrade the monitor to something bigger and more appropriate for Mac OS. Any recommendations on something i could simultaneously hook the Mac and PS5 up to. Maybe something in the 34inch range? I guess my top budget is 700. Built in web cam would be nice since I use Skype video call and would like to FaceTime w/ the Mac mini. If not built in does anyone have webcam recs?
Got a tip for us?

32inches isnt bad bigger than what I have now. Will macOS look ok on this?

Clarify “step up”?
If resolution?
5K at 27” is next “step up”. Display 4.5K 24” or 5K 27” sweet spot for macOS because HiDPI.
Display size?
4K at any higher display size will be subjective whether “macOS look ok”. macOS prefer HiDPI. 4K poopy when used at HiDPI so you will want to use 4K native resolution with macOS. Quality of 4K panel will heavily determine your subjective “macOS look ok”. Best to try with good return policy.
I appreciate your help. I think this monitor has a big of everything I need, what I trade in clarity for Mac OS I make up for with the webcam and ease of hooking up the PS5 and keeping my desk clean of peripherals34 will be tough unless you go even bigger
