MacRumors Forum: M1 Mac mini won't recognize manual HiDPI settings [macrumors.com]
Example quote from Macrumors thread: MacRumors Forum: M1 MBP & LG 34 inch ultra wide 5K2K [macrumors.com]
This is complete insanity. The last thing on my mind was worrying about finding a display when buying the M1 mini, but apparently it is the biggest issue. Usable (practical) HiDPI scaled resolutions don't exist or work, font smoothing and sub pixel anti-aliasing options are a thing of the past. So, after MUCH searching (and buying and returning 2 monitors already), I literally have ONE option for clean font rendering and usable resolution for my Mac mini -- the LG 5k 27. And I don't want a 27, I need a 34-wide, or a 32. Making non-retina and non-apple monitors look like garbage is seemingly what Apple intends. I'm sure this is no accident. I already called Apple about this (which was a complete waste of time). I now just want my money back from Apple - enough is enough.

I need a stationary setup that is minimal, clean, and connects to some legacy USB-A devices, such as a printer that doesn't do wifi, and external HHDs.
And when I get mobile, I can use iPad Pro, and I don't want to be seen with a device with thick non-uniform bezels that looks it's from 2014.
If I am using at the desk for 8 hours a day, I want it to have good cooling. The M1 is cool and efficient but with MBA screen closed it'll have less heat management. The MBA will take up more space, and even with a stand and USB C dongle, will still look less clean than the Mac mini.

retina compatible monitors: 27" 5k or 21.5" 4k or the new 24" size with whatever display resolution they are using for imacs
Thought I read the terms that it ends on June 22nd PST.
Edit:
never mind, looks like the deal was originally spotted yesterday but in the Slickdeals app, they made it look like the deal was posted today on the 23rd.. at least on my phone anyway...
