    Thank you for this! I wanted a desktop but the iMac pretty much has the same specs as my MacBook Air. I was going to just get a monitor and attached it to my laptop or purchase the new M2 MacBook, but I think the Mac mini is a better option. More power than my laptop and the iMac, I can use any monitor and it’s a great price!

I have a dual monitor setup - LG 27GP950-B 27” Ultragear UHD (3840 x 2160) and just got the MacMini M2 pro. Coming from windows to Mac I’ve noticed this scaling issue which is common knowledge but I didn’t know. If I just choose the recommended resolution will I notice any image quality issues while photo editing? Thanks in advance.
