      Thank you! :)

      I’d post some thoughts here, but the article you’ve linked to covers my opinion on the topic.

        Hi Marc, I am not so sure if the Dell UltraSharp UP2715K (800EUR) is not 5K compatible with the new Macbook Pros. It needs 2 HDMI connections.

          Yeah, might not be. I purposefully didn’t cover the ports and which displays are compatible, because I honestly don’t know. Even Thunderbolt 3 → DisplayPort can have issues, apparently. There’s a lot of complexity and confusion in getting high DPI displays working.

        That's a great article! But now I'm scared of buying any monitor after looking at the infographic over there because basically, every 4k monitor falls in the bad zone and 5k monitors are just not available in my country.

          Yep, that’s pretty much the situation. There’s lots of non-Retina displays, and almost no true Retina displays (if you’re lucky enough to have a Mac that can run one anyway).

      Woot, the thing about colour support really surprised me. But it makes sense. Thanks!

      I love how the 5k iMac is ranked amongst the top of this list. I bought one about a year ago and it's been an amazing machine.
