Display for mac mini
      #999358 - 23/07/12 12:35 PM
My (2007?) 24" iMac is showing signs of imminent falling over, so I'm looking to replace it. Having got used to the 24" screen, I didn't want to downsize to a 21" iMac but I can't really justify the expense of a 27" iMac. I've sort of settled on a Mac mini and was wondering whether there were any recommendations for 24" screens that match the quality of my current iMac?

Also, I've recently bought Logic 9 through the App Store - are there any problems reinstalling/redownloading onto the new Mac if I go ahead?

Thanks,

Pete

Dell U2311H is the one that seems to most recommended

the new minis have HDMI output so either need a display that takes that or use a DVI converter

Running a Dell 2311H off a Mac Mini here. Really good and no issues at all.

They also have Thunderbolt, and converters are available from that to various other connections: mine is hooked up to VGA, at a cost of about £20.

You can download from again from the app store to a new machine, better yet use Migration Assistant to move apps and files from your old system.
