What resolution you use on the new iMac 5k? Best for retina or scale and 5k? Me I use best of retina since the 5k is too small the letters for my eyes.

Best for display.

I use best for retina.

"Best for display" for me also. It's the sharpest. Plus, everything's too tiny otherwise.

I agree. I use best for display. This was the biggest reason for getting a Retina iMac: To enjoy the sharp display.

Best for retina

is best for me.

Best for Display. The 27'' provides plenty of screen room without using one of the scaled resolutions which significantly degrades the quality at pixel level.

I also use "best for retina"

which is actually 2560 x 1440, but since scaling works so much better on iOS, all you see is crisp bright eye candy.

I haven't tried 5160 x 2880, but I've seen 4k monitors running at max resolution and how teensy tiny everything gets. My eyesight isn't THAT good 😉

"Best for Retina" except when playing Diablo 3, where I choose the 5120x2880 option from the game menu.
