- ceejayoz 8y agoNot if the cost savings went into other stuff, like the 4k/5k displays.
- altcognito 8y agoOr the CPU. But we're talking an $1800 machine with a 5400rpm disc and 8gb of Ram. That's one hell of a screen and CPU.
- rootusrootus 8y agoIt's probably no longer true, but when the 5K iMac came out it was the cheapest way to get a 5K screen. You got the computer for free, essentially.
- raydev 8y agoI think the high quality 5k screen is still the bulk of the cost. There's nothing else like it on the market except for LG's, and that's ~$1300USD. The high DPI monitor market is practically dead (for now) so there's no pressure forcing prices down.
- thirdsun 8y agoIt's still pretty much true. 5K screens unfortuantely barely exist at this point.
