If you prioritize sharp text and image clarity for productivity tasks like photo editing, the Apple Studio Display with its larger resolution and exceptionally clear text might justify its higher price. However, if you prefer deeper blacks and better contrast for HDR gaming and media, along with a larger screen size, the Innocn with its OLED technology offers these benefits at a lower cost. Be aware, though, that for competitive gaming, both displays might not be the best due to their lower refresh rates. If your focus is on print photo editing, the Apple's color accuracy would be more suitable while the Innocn excels in color volume for HDR content. Give Feedback
