If you're on a budget and mostly interested in casual or even some competitive gaming, the AOC 24G2SPU comes at a budget price and offers features like a high refresh rate that are favorable for a smooth gaming experience. However, if your priorities include high-end productivity, top-notch image clarity, and working with high-resolution content, the Apple Studio Display with its much higher resolution and superior text and image clarity would be a better choice, albeit at a premium price. Keep in mind that the Apple monitor is not geared towards gaming due to its lower refresh rate. Give Feedback
