If you prioritize high-resolution displays for tasks like photo editing and value top-notch text clarity and image sharpness for productivity, the Apple Studio Display could be worth the investment despite its premium price. On the other hand, if you're a serious gamer looking for deep blacks, high contrast, and smoother gameplay, the KTC G27P6 with its lower price and OLED technology offers a superior gaming experience with excellent response times, albeit at a lower resolution. Neither monitor excels in all use cases, so choose based on what's most important: professional-level creative work or gaming performance. Give Feedback
