Best display for photo and video editing.

I find "Apple studio display", "Apple thunderbolt display" and "Apple video display". What is the difference between these models and what to look for for best photo and/or video editing? I cannot afford the newest Apple studio stuff! Thanks Ed.

Apple Studio Display is 5K (5120 x 2880) and Thunderbolt Display is 2560 x 1440


If you are serious of photo/video editing, I would suggest highest resolution and accurate color - 5K is much more expensive than 4K display.


There are many 3rd party displays around, like LG, Samsung ...etc. - do some research and read the reviews and decide yourself ..


deciding factors: budget, screen size/resolution/Color Gamut.. plus the need for speaker/webcam (build-in or add-on)


I have a Studio Display (my spouse claimed it) which is amazing (after I retired my 2015 5K iMac), and currently I am using Thunderbolt Display..
