We've tested more than 200 monitors, and below are our recommendations for the best displays for MacBook Pro to purchase. At this time, we don't test for compatibility if you run into any issues using a monitor when connected to a MacBook, please let us know in the discussions. So while our recommendations have the optimal pixel density for the best performance, they don't necessarily have a USB-C port.ĭue to numerous complaints of compatibility issues and Dell's unwillingness to offer support to those affected, all Dell monitors have been removed from our list of recommendations for the time being and until the situation is resolved. Also, macOS works best with monitors that have a pixel density close to either 110 or 220 PPI. Preferably, you want a monitor that supports USB-C with power delivery, which allows you to connect your MacBook Pro to the display and charge it using a single cable. The MacBook Pro has a great screen, but sometimes, it's just too small.
