RE: I saw the iMac 5k at the Apple store yesterday

Posted by pictureguy on October 28, 2014 at 11:26:47:
Plasma won't go past 1080 because the cell size gets too small. That's why Plasma is now history except for what will become an entry level display. In a couple years, not even THAT.

What you need to know is 'dot pitch' size for a computer monitor.
If I size / modify a photo for MONITOR use only, I do it differently than if I want to print it. All prints I do are at 300dpi. Monitor photos USED to be all sized to 72dpi.

So, and I should have been more clear, earlier, we are talking about 2 things.
1. Color space. How much of an SRGB or AdobeRGB color space can the monitor produce
and
2. Resolution. Dot pitch and refresh rate.

The #1 thing most home photographers can do for themselves is CALIBRATE THEIR MONITOR.
