For the first time you can buy a 21.5-inch iMac with a 4k Retina Display, this display brings much sharper text, more spectacular images and videos and amazing graphics. This also means this display is capable of viewing the 4K resolution video the new iPhone 6s is able to shoot in – 4 times the resolution of your Full HD TV.

The new Retina displays make photos and videos more immersive and true-to-life thanks to a wider colour gamut and spectacular image quality.

As a comparison these 21.5-inch 4k Retina Displays bring 9.4 million pixels and 4.5 times more pixels than the standard 21.5-inch iMac display – a substantial difference. The 27-inch 5k Retina Display remains but part of todays announcement is every 27-inch iMac now includes this 5k Retina display removing the 27-inch non-retina models.
