Does anyone think that this monitor:


which I already use for work-stuff comprising MS office/non-graphics-related tasks with a dell 14", would work well with a mac studio for things like photoshop, watching movies/youtube, etc.?

I considered getting the Apple Display for the $1500 but this monitor is 1/5 the price and while I can afford the AD, it seems like overkill as I am not a graphics professional and I've read about the noise/hum issue with the AD. Its amazing that there are not 5K alternatives to the AD on the market from LG or Samsung I've found so far. Basically, I am looking to emulate and replace the screen on my 2017 iMac 27 inch with a more modern computer.

I guess I can purchase the Studio and see how it connects with the Samsung, but was hoping to get some thoughts here first to save some time.
