Of course not. You'd have to be closer than 2 inches from the screen before you could see the difference. I can't focus that close.

Word is out that Apple has created a new non-reflective glass without a matt finish. We'll see.
All I've been wanting for coming on four years is a small upgrade to the existing thunderbolt monitor so that it has the same resolution as my 15" rMBP, has USB 3.0 and more thunderbolt ports. Then I'd buy two of them.
Or if it matched the 27" imac, that would be fine too. I could buy one of each. But, the dual screen options Apple offers are so outdated, I've been sticking with my Dells waiting to pull the trigger on the refresh.
Get on this already Apple.

The current MBP can't even properly drive a 4K Panel at 60Hz, if you have nowhere to connect it to I don't really see the necessity right now. Right now there isn't even a proper connection for 4K Displays, only that MST nonsense. However it is a great glimpse into future tech and I'm looking forward to it. 
Yep.
After having to replace the logic board AND graphics card for my 2011 27" 2 years in ($1,000), I'm done with the iMac.
Too much heat in tight quarters.
So once mine dies (again), I'm somewhat stuck; Mac mini (underpowered) or Mac Pro (overpowered/overpriced for me).
Damn it, Apple. Build an xMac already! I reeeally don't want to Hackingtosh!!
Then again, I can always look for an old Mac Pro, but then Apple wouldn't get my money.
2011 iMac - there's your problem right there. The 2011 models ran hot. The slim 2012+ redesign cured all those problems. It's not a space heater any more, despite the power packed into an even slimmer package.

Yes, it can.
But only the 15" one, the 13" is limited by the Intel's HD 5100 and right now only usable at 51.7 Hz. Far Faaar away from 2880p at 60Hz.
4k will be moot in 12 months. 8k is already starting to become a buzz word amongst cinematographers. Panasonic has already produced a 145" 8k Plasma monitor.
The next step after 8k will be 12k.
I've been holding out on a second monitor for over a year, hoping Apple will announce a new 27" display in October. I might puke blood if it doesn't happen.

Yes for a few FIVE HUNDRED more you can get a Mac Pro... With no monitor?
----------
Most people are watching YouTube videos at the lowest resolution.

If anyone could invent glass that doesn't look like glass, it'd be apple.

It's not about the interface alone, but Displayport 1.3 can handle that much bandwidth with one cable instead of two.
Mst
As a longtime fan of Mystery Science Theater, I think it's really cool that there's a monitor technology called "MST".
I wonder if there was a 3k version of this. MST in a 3K would be epic.
But, anyway, this monitor looks amazing. It would be great for high-rez photoshop work- I could just leave everything at 100%.

Philips had a moth eye screen (moth eyes don't reflect light to avoid predators, the screen surface replicated that effect) on one of their top end TV's a couple of years ago, and there have been several other similar technologies.
I hope Apple does adopt a non-reflective screen (not the same as matte at all), but they won't have invented it.
It would be a pretty short line (reference to the price tag, not the point of it).
