Dell is coming out with a 5k display. They announced it last month. Supposedly requires two display ports 1.2 and MSRP is $2500, but that's not official they should drop it because of the iMac

I wish they went with the nvidia 980m instead of that stupid ATI junk... :/

I'll be tempted when they drop the price and enable target display mode

Well, my wife's iMac is having a meltdown. 3 year old iMac 27". Goes into white screen of death randomly. Boots into the white screen as well. Restarting by clearing the PRAM helps sometimes, but would still go into white screen of death soon after a successful restart.
Does it sound like a bad graphics card? If it is, I might be in luck because Apple has a recall on AMD Radeons.
The Apple Care on this iMac expired three months ago.

My '12 Mac Mini Server with an i7 was a great purchase. It's connected to our living room TV along with the PS3/PS4.

In typical Apple fashion, the next revision will probably have it.

What I'd try to do is buy another refurb (check every day and night). If you can snag another one, sell one of them.
And then rinse and repeat for a free mini?

I'll wait until then, probably get a nice price drop too.
One day retina displays will be normal

A picture I took of a red car looks orange.
Edit: figured it out, it's currently connected to my monitor via HDMI, that's what's causing the issue, the Mac thinks it's plugged into a TV not a monitor hence the wonky colors.
I have a miniDP to DP cable already on the way via Amazon so that should fix that.

Can't you just choose a different color profile? :/
I'm on a HDMIed mini right now... Works great.

Hmmm well reading into it some more it could be an issue with just Dell monitors on OSX only.
Apparently with dell monitors, OSX thinks of them as a TV. So it outputs in YPbPr instead of RGB. That's why it's getting wonky colors and fuzzy text.
What's funny is people who run win 7/8 under bootcamp have correct color and no fuzziness.
Apparently it still does it even under miniDP to DP
Need to figure out how to force it to send an RGB signal.
And NO I'm not buying a new monitor.
(My DVI slot is already taken up by my PC)

I just needed to use mark up in mail...what a great feature. it prevented me from having to open photoshop, change, save as a new file, etc.
I just attached the photo, selected mark up...pointed out what I needed, and hit send. Awesome.
