For gaming or general purpose casual use, other options are much better in terms of bang for buck.
This monitor is best for work usage, specifically for tasks where color accuracy matters and artifacts introduced by non-integer scaling with 4k displays on Macs are problematic like photo editing and graphics design. It's also good for text-heavy usage, enabling text clarity that's dramatically better than 2560x1440 and another step up from 4k at the same size.
I own one (VESA mount version) that I use for both of those cases. Its contrast is much better than its specs might suggest; I own other displays that on paper have similar contrast, but the Studio Display's blacks are deeper. It's the most responsive of any monitor I own, with the quickest wake-up time and it having its power supply integrated instead of being an external brick is excellent for usage with a standing desk with power strip mounted underneath. Speakers are head and shoulders above typical monitor speakers and IMO for general use obviate any need for dedicated desktop speakers.
