my setup: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/559047/doupe.jpg https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/559047/doupe.jpg
middle: 5K, iMac (mid 2015)
left: 4K, 27" Dell P2715Q
right: old Apple Cinema LED Display 27"
mid-bottom-left: iPhone 5s, for testing
mid-bottom-right: iPad Air, for testing, sometimes TweetDeck/HipChat with DuetDisplay
I think 5K iMac can drive 5K, plus two external 4K displays at full speed without issues
edit: also note that all the displays are 27", so they naturally fit side-by-side, that seems to be a detail, but it is quite important for seamless mouse movement (aligned virtual desktops). Even if physical pixel densities are not the same, all displays have the same virtual size: see https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/559047/aligned-displays.png https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/559047/aligned-displays.....
And the keyboard: http://www.daskeyboard.com http://www.daskeyboard.com, also highly recommended for a developer.
- Matthias247 10y agoHow would you compare the 5k screen vs the P2715? I have the latter at work and I find the picture quality (color, contrast) great. And dpi is also fairly good. Is the 5k noticably better? PS: I personally wouldn't like that setup, too much lighting from all sides. But if it works for you it's certainly cool.
- dr_win 10y agoAny difference is barely noticeable to my eye. Even having them side-by-side with the same default macOS Sierra background does not feel like two different displays. Even if I try hard and focus on specific details the quality, color, contrast look the same to me.
