If you're in need of a high-end monitor for professional photo and video editing, the Apple Pro Display XDR would be an excellent choice because of its superior color accuracy, brightness, and contrast. However, it comes with a high cost. On the other hand, the LG 34WQ75C is much more affordable and offers a larger screen with an ultrawide aspect ratio which is beneficial for multitasking and productivity, but it doesn't match the Apple's performance for tasks that demand color precision. Neither option is ideal for competitive gaming due to their lower refresh rates, but for casual gaming and general media consumption, the LG could serve well and save you money. Give Feedback

How the Apple Pro Display XDR (IPS FALD) and the LG 34WQ75C (IPS) compare to other monitors
"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."
