If you prioritize top-of-the-line image clarity, color accuracy, and are involved in HDR video editing or print photo editing, the Apple Pro Display XDR offers superior performance in productivity tasks and has a larger screen with higher resolution, making it ideal for detailed creative work. However, its high cost and poor gaming features make it less suitable for gaming. In contrast, the Cooler Master GZ2711 excels in both casual and competitive gaming due to its high refresh rate and excellent response time. While it's budget-friendlier and offers infinite contrast with its OLED panel, making it great for media consumption, it's not ideal for productivity tasks given its lower resolution and smaller screen size compared to the Apple monitor.

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."
