High resolution displays like the new iMac are here and it's only a matter of time (a short time IMO) before they become the norm. They will be great for viewing and editing my photos and I can't wait to try it out.
Too bad we'll still be viewing the outstanding work of others at 800 px wide on sites like MacRumors.

You are obviously right.
The thing is that the majority of people are just getting used to 1080p.
I didn't upgrade my TV to 1080p until last year. And I am now considering an additional more high res display. Most people I know have screens with less than 1080p.
4k, 5k and 8k will be the future, no doubt, but they also require all new hardware and faster internet. My estimate is that it will take a decade for the masses of consumers to catch up with 4k. The 5k iMac on the other hand is a novelty. There is no 5k tb display because tb2 is too slow!! That means not even the nMP could run one at this point.
is innovating and far, far ahead of it's time as usual. If you want to jump on that wagon you have to:
1. Move to one of the few areas in the world with high speed internet
2. Sell your organs to be able to afford the newest tech
