is apple using an LG display in their 5k imacs? I want to buy a display as close to the one that the imac uses for my pc
 
iFixit's teardown of the 5K iMac in 2014 showed that it was manufactured by LG. However, this is "just" the panel, which would presumably be at a much lower cost to Apple. When I tested out some 4k monitors before settling on the iMac I was surprisingly pleased with some of the 4K VA panels out there now, so long as you don't need wide viewing angles. Too bad the scaling on 4K is so taxing to the GPU for the resolutions I use.
