Apple have slightly worked themselves into a corner with the whole 4x pixels dogma by having ALL the current retina devices follow that 'rule'.
For iMac though, why bother? Why not just give them enough of an increase that the retina concept of simply not being able to discern pixels from standard viewing distance holds true?
I'm sat in front of a 27" iMac right now and although it's not a problem, I can just (JUST!) make out the pixels, mainly on text. To become 'retina', this screen doesn't need 4x the pixel count. Even 3x would push the res up into 'effective retina'.
Why not just do that instead of following some none-existant 'rule' that gives you a needless engineering headache?!
Obviously you don't understand what you're talking about.
For the 100th time:
not seeing pixels ≠ there is no benefit from higher pixel density
Get it? Up to ~200 pixels per degree? Get it?

We'd appreciate if you'd stop spewing nonsense. It's irresponsible.
