If you prioritize high-resolution text quality and image clarity for productivity, along with a larger screen space and are willing to invest more, the Apple Studio Display is a solid choice, particularly for digital photo editing but it's not suitable for HDR gaming and media consumption. However, if you want a monitor that offers very good brightness for HDR content, and you also engage in casual gaming, the Innocn 32M2V provides a better balance at a lower price point, with its MiniLED technology enhancing contrast and it includes features more suitable for HDR gaming.
