SpecificationApple Studio Display (2026)LG UltraGear 32GS95UE-B
Release year20262024
Panel27-inch 5K Retina; 5120 × 2880, 218 ppi; 60 Hz

218 ppi lets macOS render text sharply at 2x scaling; 60 Hz is a fixed rate, with no high or variable refresh as on gaming monitors.

Apple		31.5-inch OLED, 16:9; 3840 × 2160; 0.1814 mm pixel pitch; matte AGLR surface

About 140 ppi keeps text sharp at 32 inches; the matte surface diffuses reflections but can make blacks look slightly greyer than a glossy finish.

LG
Brightness and colour600 nits; 1 billion colours; wide colour (P3); True Tone

Refresh and Dual Mode—240 Hz at 4K; Dual Mode switches to FHD (1920 × 1080) at 480 Hz via hotkey or joystick

Dual Mode doubles the refresh rate by lowering the resolution; it improves motion clarity in competitive games, while 1080p looks softer on the desktop.

LG
Response time—0.03 ms GtG

GtG is the time a pixel takes to move from one grey shade to another; it is not the same as total input lag.
