Hi Blitto, I bought a pair of Lenovo 24” regular monitors around 18 months ago when I had to work from home due to you know what. I use my Windows work laptop but they work equally well on my Macbook by plugging into an HDMI port. Mac OS figures out what you’ve got and does a pretty good job of setting up. Sometimes a few tweaks needed to get scaling correct, but no fundamental flaws. A lot of sellers don’t actually know if they work with Mac OSX, can check on the manufacturers site for specifics and compatibility. I’d be surprised if there was a monitor for sale now that isn’t compatible. At worst you may have to download some drivers off the manufacturer site or wait for Mac OSX to auto get the drivers for you.
If using multiple external monitors, you might need a third party adaptor to have two HDMI ports connect via a single input to the Mac.
