Screen size is no longer the only barometer that matters when it comes to measuring the awesomeness of your television. Those new, ridiculously expensive 4K TVs have a horizontal resolution of 4,000 pixels (hence the name 4K). The new iMac that Apple just unveiled has a 27″ 5K display, which is a resolution of 5120 x 2880. That’s 14.7 million pixels–seven times greater than 1080p, and 67% greater than even 4K. It’s not just a display, so you’re also a getting 3.5GHz quad-core Intel i5 processor, 8GB of memory, 1TB Fusion Drive and an AMD Radeon R9 M290X video card (and those specs are just for the base model) for all your desktop computing needs. That said, if you’re shelling out anywhere from $2500 – $5k on this machine, it’s probably for the almost-better-than-real-life display.
