Guys - Can someone recommend me a monitor under $500 with my Mac Mini ?

I mistakenly bought a 27-inch Thunderbolt that doesn't have a big enough font size at it's native resolution. At native 2560 x 1440, I'm constantly increasing font sizes on websites and at 2048 x 1152, it's too big and graphics are poor quality. I've played around with accessibility and increased font size too which helps in different windows and menu bars but not while browsing or in spreadsheets, etc.
Nice to have would be built-in speakers and USB ports - thanks!
 
Have you tried to change the resolution to 1920x1080 or change the scale from 100% to 125%. Right click on the desktop and go to display settings, scroll down to Scale and Layout to change scale size and resolution.

I would highly recommend staying at the 1080P res at 27", heck the owner of the company i work for uses a 32" 1080P screen. If your wanting to stay at 1440P i would look at something in the 30+ screen size range.
 
I use 2 27" and a 34" ultrawide (all at 1080) and am able to see all text well. I occasionally will up a webpage to 125%, but other than that am happy with everything (10 hours a day working).
