If you're focused on professional photo and video editing with precise color accuracy, the Apple Pro Display XDR would be an excellent choice due to its stellar image clarity and color fidelity. However, if you're an enthusiast gamer or want an immersive experience with a wide aspect ratio and high refresh rate at a lower price, the LG 45GS95QE would be better suited for you. Keep in mind that while the LG excels in gaming performance, its text clarity and suitability for detailed photo editing might not match the Apple monitor's standards. Give Feedback
