Total newbie here.
Gone are the days apparently when I can walk into an Apple store and get an integrated iMac with computer and screen to replace what I have now, which is a 2015 iMac with a 27-inch 5120 × 2880 display. I really like the 27-inch size and would prefer not to go smaller with the current 24" iMac. So I'm thinking a Mac mini or Studio. The separate 27-inch Mac Studio display seems expensive at $1599 compared to other non-Apple monitors but its resolution is 5120 x 2880, which is what I have now. But even though the specs look good--600 nits for example--I've read some really critical reviews.
When I stack it up against a well reviewed 27-inch monitor like the Dell UltraSharp U2723QE, it's 1/3 of the price, less bright in the specs at 400 nits and lower resolution at 3840 x 2160. So questions:
What do you think of the 27-inch Mac Studio display?
Am I missing something in thinking that it's superior to say a Dell UltraSharp U2723QE?
Are there other monitors in the 5120 × 2880 resolution range to look at?
Any advice on a Mac mini vs Studio for photo editing?
Thanks much in advance especially for tolerating a newbie.
