If you're looking for exceptional image clarity and color accuracy for professional photo and video editing, the Apple Pro Display XDR is excellent and its higher resolution offers more screen real estate. However, for an immersive gaming and media experience, the Gigabyte FO32U2P, with its infinite contrast and faster refresh rate, provides significantly better performance at a lower price. The Gigabyte is also very suitable for digital photo editing with its wide color gamut. The Apple display shines in productivity tasks with its superior text quality and brightness, but if gaming is a priority, the Gigabyte offers a more responsive experience. Give Feedback

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."
