The 21.5-inch iMac is spot on, out of the box, without any calibration required. Those boxes show what’s expected, the circles inside of them show what’s delivered by the display. He sent me some CIE diagrams showing me color accuracy for the displays he’s testing, I responded with this: So how does the display fare?īrian and I were comparing notes on the two reviews we’re working on at the same time. Either way there’s clearly a market for a computer this size, with this sort of a resolution. The 27-inch iMac occupies a considerable amount of space on my desk, and I’ve come to realize that not everyone likes to be surrounded by a sea of desks. The size argument is just as easy to understand. At a bare minimum you’re looking at a $500 price difference between the 21.5 and 27-inch iMacs, which is pretty substantial to begin with. There are two reasons why you’d opt for the 21.5-inch iMac vs. While I’d prefer something with an insanely higher resolution, it’s still too early for a 21.5-inch 4K panel (or a 27-inch 5K panel), which Apple would likely move to in order to bring Retina displays to its desktops. Given how much time I spend on notebook displays these days, now was as good a time as any to go back to a 1080p desktop display. With the new 27-inch iMac looking a lot like last year’s model with evolutionary upgrades on the internals, I was obviously drawn to the new 21.5-inch system because of its use of Intel’s Iris Pro 5200 graphics so I ended up with the first < 3MP desktop display I’d used since the release of the first 30-inch 2560 x 1600 panels years ago. At the time I was using a 27-inch Thunderbolt Display and couldn’t see myself using anything smaller, or lower resolution. When it was first announced, I shrugged off the 21.5-inch iMac model.
