Our Verdict
LG 40WP95C-W
Apple Studio Display
The LG 40WP95C-W is a much more versatile monitor than the Apple Studio Display. Both models target creators, but the Apple monitor can only reach its maximum potential when used with a Mac. The LG works well with any environment and allows you to load a calibration profile to the display, ensuring you get an accurate image with any source. The LG also has better connectivity with Thunderbolt 4 support as well as HDMI and DisplayPort inputs.
