Need help with buying monitor and arm

F

Recruit
Primary use: coding, movies, I don't game per se but thinking of getting the F1 game, though by my little knowledge I don't think it requires a lot of high end resolution.
Primary laptop: Macbook M3. Also an HP Pavilion laptop but rarely used.
The monitors I have shortlisted till now:
haven't really looked at monitor arms yet
My requirements while I was searching:
- need QHD or above because FHD does not look good with Macbook (tried it out in person with various models, so this is a non-negotiable factor)
- 24in because my table is a bit small to accommodate 2 laptops and a monitor, but this is not a hard requirement
- need monitor arm because most probably I will arrange the monitor above my laptop, and the inbuilt height adjustment isn't enough

Please help with me reviews of the above if you/someone you know have used, and also alternatives if you know of something better in similar price range (monitor and arm combined should be <= 20k)

yes. for monitors their are way to many options available. and I might not be right guy to suggest it. 2k 24inch is not possible has much i know. at least 27 inch required for 2k. also USB C for macbook connection if not mandatory then you might have to go for connector or docker for the same. 1k to 2k for connector works good on macbook and normal HDMI version monitor so this might help in not limiting on monitor range. I prefer LG for gaming monitor. BenQ for other has it will give you usb c connection has well.

i found 4 options in total with this config, the first link I've attached is the one I liked. i would ofc prefer a 27in one but I don't know if my table will be able to accommodate it. the 2nd option (MSI) is actually present in my office and pretty good hence shortlisted it.
thanks for your time
