The $800 LG outperforms the studio display in almost every dimension you mention.

What you’re paying for with an Apple branded monitor is effectively opting out of the panel lottery.

Look at the reviews for that LG. Sure the specs on the tin are better but quality control looks like garbage.

Apple does not accept that. I have never got a bad Apple screen in any Apple product I have ever bought. Not the case from other companies.

This is pretty funny. As someone who has overseen the purchase of thousands of high end LGs and maybe a hundred Apple monitors, we saw many, many more issues with the Apple monitors.

Their lower tier monitors have issues but so do literally every other manufacturer. The high-end LGs are very good and QC as of 2026 has been phenomenal.

Just look at the reviews on the Amazon page for the LG in question man. It’s got like a 3 out of 5.

Amazon reviews have lacked proportionality to product quality for at least 10 years now.

There's plenty of bad panels in Apple displays posted on Reddit and other forums.

(e.g., https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/studio-displays-with-sc...)

Maybe the panel lottery is more in your favour but it isn't gone.

Apple sells millions of these displays I did not say you wouldn’t be able to find a Reddit thread with some problems.

“But ackshully” — you fully understand the point I was making!
