Perusing computer setups online, we love to point out great deals on great gear when they come along. In today’s M1 Mac mini setup, the 27-inch external 4K display looks like a gem, with great features at a low price.
MSI 4K display brings quality at low price in Mac mini setup
Streaming video enthusiast, gamer and Redditor ZenoviCSGO (“Zen”) showcased the fun setup in a post entitled, “Minimal Productivity Desk Setup.” Located in India, Zen adores his M1 Mac mini. Despite its advancing age, it gets the job done for him. And it drives a 27-inch MSI 4K display that looks like a heck of a bargain for its features.
In recent posts, we looked closely at Zen’s NZXT Relay audio gear and Function mechanical keyboard for gaming, too. In his video below, he talks about various positives and negatives of the display. One big positive in the 27-inch 4K monitor is its price right now on Amazon — just $184 when we checked. That’s a great price for 27-inch 4K resolution display. Check it out in the gear links list below.
