This budget external display that actually works with the 14-inch MacBook Pro because apparently we need more screen real estate. Not to mention the problem we've seen with several monitors and how how they perform on a Mac. I have also recently tested this on the M1 Max Mac Studio without any issues.

So, I think I've found of the best budget 4K external monitor for the M1 Max MacBook Pro and M1 Max Studio right now. This 27-inch 4K monitor from INNOCN (27C1U) might be one of the best displays to partner up with the M1 line up of MacBook Pros in your desk setup, especially in this price category for those in the creative space. This display also works well with other Apple Silicon devices such as the M1 Mac mini as well as the M1 MacBook Air, and has that USB-C connectivity that many of us look for with a monitor.

In this review I share with you how I’m using it in my own creative workflow with the 14-inch M1 Max MacBook Pro, especially for video editing as my primary use case.
