The 6 Best Monitors For MacBook Pro And MacBook Air – Spring 2023 Reviews

Getting an external monitor is a good idea if your MacBook Pro doesn’t give you enough screen space to work with. A monitor with a USB-C port allows you to display an image from your MacBook Pro and charge it using a single cable. While macOS works best with 5k displays, they’re still limited in market availability, so you can also get a 4k monitor if you want sharp text. You’ll also want to consider other things like the monitor’s color accuracy and peak brightness to get the most out of your MacBook Pro.

We test monitors’ compatibility with the 2021 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M1 Pro chip using USB-C or DisplayPort connections. The results are also valid for any MacBook, including the MacBook Air, or if your MacBook uses the newer M2 chip.

We’ve bought and tested more than 270 monitors, and below are our recommendations for the best displays for MacBook Pro to purchase. Also, check out our recommendations for the best work monitors, the best monitors for photo editing, and the best monitors for Mac Mini.
