They also cut the price on the iMac Retina by $200.

And there's a new lower-end retina iMac starting at $1999. That's an impressively low price point for something with that display.

You can buy IPS 4k display for $599 or less. Not 5k, but not that far off either.

Edit: Downvotes, seriously? Have you seen these side by side? When it comes to resolution, at least I can't tell a difference anymore at a reasonable viewing distance. Display tech simply good enough now.

5k is almost double the pixel count (75%-ish more). It's pretty substantial... also, more to the point with Apple products, I think at the 27" size, 5k is necessary for the pixel-doubling high-DPI option to look good. At 4k, everything looks either tiny or huge, depending on whether you have it turned off or on.

5K is almost twice as many pixels as 4K.
