If top-notch image quality for creative professional work such as HDR video editing and color-critical tasks is your priority and budget is less of a concern, the Apple Pro Display XDR is an excellent option. It offers exceptional brightness and color accuracy, making it suitable for print photo editing. On the other hand, the ViewSonic XG341C-2K is more budget-friendly and offers a curved screen which can be immersive for media consumption and casual gaming. However, it doesn't match the Apple's performance in professional color work and has lower brightness. For competitive gaming, neither of these monitors is ideal due to slower response times and lower refresh rates. 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."
