But now we have the iMac Pro, so does that have to get monitor enhancements before the regular line? And a new Mac Pro, which would likely sell in much fewer numbers if iMacs can do 8K video. So does the regular iMac just stay at 5K?
5K already seems plenty to me. What problem are we solving by going much higher than that?

I can sort of see a 35-inch (or whatever) 8K model, but a yet higher pixel density after only three years? Why?
