The Apple Studio Display has 600 nits, the ASUS 400-500.
Advantages Apple Studio: higher brightness, excellent speakers for a monitor, integrated camera, total integration in macOS (TrueTone, updates etc.). Advantages Asus: height adjustable and swivelling, has HDR10 (Display HDR500) support, has more connections.
I have both, side by side on a Mac mini, works very well. The price/performance ratio of the ASUS is excellent.
i think the brightness is ok i only have it on 88% and the price performance factor is awesome. and the colours are also right I work with two employees.
