If competitive gaming is a priority, the AOC AG456UCZD with its high refresh rate and low response time would be a great choice, and it is less expensive. However, for rigorous photo and video editing, where color accuracy is critical, the Apple Pro Display XDR excels, especially if you're working with HDR content, but it comes at a higher price. The AOC caters poorly to productivity and media consumption due to text and image clarity, whereas the Apple display, with its exceptional clarity and larger color gamut, is outstanding for these tasks despite having a lower refresh rate, which is not ideal for gaming.

PC Mag
Chris Stobing | February 2020
"Apple's Pro Display XDR provides exceptional color accuracy and build quality at a price that's quite competitive with those of reference-grade pro monitors. It's exquisite enough that swallowing the wildly extravagant cost of its Pro Stand is worth it."
