I love my 27" 5k Retina iMac
However, I never felt 27" was big enough.
Currently, I am running two 27" displays. One is the Retina iMac. The other is the standard 27" Apple Cinema Display.
It's okay for its purpose. I hate the fact that windows never open in the correct monitor as they should when rebooting.
So, I talked with HTF co-owner Dave Upton who got a 65" Samsung JU7500 display to test out. He used it with his Mac as a display, and thought it was really cool. Only problem is, a bit too massive for the task. Certainly, too tall.
He thought the 55" Samsung JU7500 would be better.
I like the fact I would have one massive display to run all my windows at once and even watch a Blu-ray in the corner of the screen if I chose to.
Of course, I would have to throw my 27" Retina iMac on the floor and run it dark as it will only be a power/PC source to the display.
Here is the biggest problem I see....
At the moment, I don't think the Samsung UHD display will do 4k@60hz through HDMI.
Now, allegedly, there is a new adapter available now, or at year's end that will allow this kind of playback.
Just wondering what everyone thought of what I am attempting to do.
