If high-resolution work like HDR video editing or tasks demanding precise color accuracy are your priority, and you're not constrained by budget, the Apple Pro Display could be the better option. It offers a larger screen and exceptional image clarity. However, for a more budget-friendly choice that still delivers on color accuracy and is suitable for HDR gaming and media, the Innocn monitor is a strong contender, especially if competitive gaming isn't a focus, as both monitors do not excel in refresh rate-related performance. Keep in mind, the Innocn offers a matte display which can be preferable if you're concerned about glare. Give Feedback

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."

"The Innocn 27MU2 screen isn’t built to Apple standards, but it’s robust enough for desktop use and surprisingly lightweight, considering its image quality. The stand is rock steady and adjustable, plus the screen can be wall mounted. There are plenty of input options plus the ability to display two sources on screen at the same time."
