If you value exceptional image clarity and are engaged in professional photo or video editing, the Apple Pro Display XDR's high resolution and color accuracy make it well-suited for these tasks, at a premium price. However, for casual gaming and media consumption, the LG 32UN650 offers a significantly lower price point while still maintaining good picture quality and fair performance. The LG also includes variable refresh rate support which could improve your gaming experience. It's not suited for competitive gaming though, whereas the Apple display's tradeoff lies in poor refresh rate and response time, making it less ideal for any gaming. Give Feedback

"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."

Overall, it is an excellent monitor for casual PC and console gaming, light office work and content creation – and everything in between!
