I know it's my own niche case, but with apple silicone I have more issues with external monitors than I've ever had in my entire life. I run my own business and I've always liked Macs because having the same software as my team makes fixing issues so much quicker but this is the first time I've thought about moving us to PCs.

In my case, it is a start of the day, every single day, issue where I'm unplugging and re-plugging in monitors waiting for it to 'take' and then it's fine for the day.

I haven't had a problem so far, but I just want to plug rtings.com for this -- when I've looked at monitors, I see that they have a specific review for MacBook compatibility for every monitor. That's really helpful, and their reviews are otherwise top notch quality as well. At least one monitor got axed from my recent search based solely on the review that said it was finicky to get working without compromising on the performance.
I had similar problems with a Dell monitor (P2415Q) on my Mac. In the end I replaced it with an LG and that has been fine.
Wouldn’t it be better to move to different monitors instead?
