If you prioritize high-resolution image clarity for professional photo and video editing, and your budget allows, the Apple Pro Display XDR is an excellent choice, especially for tasks requiring accurate color reproduction and it supports HDR content well. However, for more budget-conscious users who still want a solid monitor for casual gaming with a good refresh rate and who don't need top-tier color accuracy or high resolution, the Innocn 27G1S offers a very good gaming experience and reasonable image quality for everyday tasks at a midrange price. The Apple Pro Display XDR is not suited for competitive gaming, whereas the Innocn performs very well in that regard. 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."

Notebook Check
Allen Ngo | June 2023
"The monitor is a sweet spot for gamers who want something faster than 165 Hz while keeping the benefits of fast response times and relative affordability. The VA panel is now more competitive against many IPS options."
