5K screen on the new iMac? It's a huge technical achievement, and one which no one else managed to replicate yet.

Sure, but Apple has invented a way to drive theirs directly from a heavily modified Radeon GPU - for that Dell monitor you need to connect two DisplayPort cables at once to show 5K content. And like others have pointed out - that monitor costs as much as the 5K imac.

For the same price as an iMac, without a computer.
