Your Mac or MacBook's display is already gorgeous, but if you're in the market for a second display or even something larger than what you have, a 4K monitor is a huge step in the right direction, with some of the best monitors for Mac feature high-resolution 4K panels. 

If you want to try and maintain the same level of definition as your current display, here are the best 4K monitors for your Mac.

A couple of suggestions

Of course, when it comes to using a newer MacBook or a powerful Mac Studio you're not only going to want USB-C (since its the only ports the MacBook lineup has anymore), but you're likely going to want some extra ports. That's where the LG 32UD99. Since it can charge your MacBook, MacBook Air, or 13-inch MacBook Pro, and it also features two USB-A ports, two HDMI ports, a display port, and headphone jack, making it not only a fantastic monitor but a whole hub for connectivity.

When it comes to excellent 1080p monitors, the Samsung C27F591 is hard to beat, with excellent bang for your buck. Its combined features and price make it a great consideration for anyone looking for a 4K display to use with their Mac, but the lack of USB-C can be concerning for some.

Lastly, if the price is your only concern the LG 24UD58 is probably the monitor you should pick up. Since its a monitor that is a couple of years old, it's received a huge price cut recently, and that's no laughing matter.
