Monitors
I am starting to look into monitors and would appreciate some input.
I have a “late 2013” iMac 27in which is just fine for my needs (annual taxes, managing investments, Zoom, etc). No gaming. This is my machine of record, it has everything important on it, with good backups. However my tax software won’t run after this season, and I suspect other software (Office) will become obsolete as well, forcing me to replace the computer.
I’m considering a Mac Mini, probably with 1 or 2 TB on board, reuse my mouse and keyboard, and external backup drives. But I’ll need a monitor and webcam.
Obviously I think in terms of long useful life, and I don’t really need blazing performance since no gaming is involved. I only fire this machine up once a week or so and I’m trying to keep the footprint small as it is in a smallish office.
One thought is to connect the iMac via HDMI to one of the TVs (all 4K) in the house, not a comfortable way to work but it is just occasional. Not sure what to do about a webcam for that setup. Perhaps just use the iPad for Zoom.
And the other is to just get a monitor - but which one would be a good choice?
