So I have a really nice Mac Pro. It's working great. I've been waiting on new displays from Apple, but it did not happen. I am using dual thunderbolts right now with the nMP, however, I am in need of 4k monitors or at the very least, something not so damn reflective with so much glare.
Since Apple will probably not release 4k or even 5k standalone until mid 2015 when technology catches up (and i'll have to update the Mac Pro to even make use of them), should I just jump ship and get an iMac? Or just buy third party monitors for the Mac Pro I have now. I absolutely need 2 monitors and size wise, 24+ is great, but no bigger than 30", since having two on the desk can get very cumbersome. The two 27's feel a bit too much right now, but I do like having the space.
I do hear, that people are having issues with 4k monitors on macs. The UP2414Q looks great, but it sounds like there are weird sleep issues.
Auto brightness/keyboard brightness is a bit of a big deal for me. The office I work in lighting changes too often, and having to adjust each monitor via OSD is beyond annoying.
So any suggestions? Getting the iMac is great, but I get the feeling I'll be very annoyed having a 5k iMac and TB display next to it.
Doesn't even have to be an answer, any discussion is welcome.
