If you prioritize high refresh rates and competitive gaming, the AOC AG456UCZD with its excellent response times and VRR support is a strong choice, especially given its advantage in price. For tasks involving color-critical work such as digital photo editing, the Apple Studio Display offers superior image clarity and color accuracy, making it better suited for productivity and media consumption, despite its higher cost. However, the Apple display won't provide the same level of gaming performance as the AOC, due to its lower refresh rates and lack of VRR. Give Feedback
