If you prioritize exceptional image clarity, high resolution, and professional photo editing, the Apple Studio Display might suit your needs better, despite being significantly pricier. However, if you're looking for a wider screen with an ultrawide aspect ratio that might be more immersive for productivity and have a more moderate price, the LG 34WQ75C could be a better fit. Bear in mind, neither of these monitors is designed with high-spec gaming in mind, as their refresh rates are relatively low compared to dedicated gaming monitors. Give Feedback
