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

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.
Too much is never enough
