The Apple Studio Display is the best monitor for MacBook Pro that we've tested. Also, check out our recommendations for the best work monitors, the best monitors for photo and video editing, and the best monitors for Mac Mini. We've bought and tested more than 265 monitors, and below are our recommendations for the best displays for MacBook Pro to purchase. The results are also valid for any MacBook, including if you're looking for the best MacBook Air monitor or if your MacBook uses the newer M2 chip. We test monitors' compatibility with the 2021 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M1 Pro chip using USB-C or DisplayPort connections.

You'll also want to look for other things like color accuracy and high peak brightness for the best picture quality possible with your MacBook. While macOS works best with 5k displays, they're still limited in terms of market availability, so the next best option would be to get a 4k monitor if you want sharp text. Getting a monitor with a USB-C port allows you to connect your MacBook Pro and charge it using a single cable. If you find that your MacBook Pro doesn't give you enough screen space, then getting a monitor is a good option for adding some screen real estate.
