5K display, seems perfect tool for image and video editing. http://www.apple.com/imac-with-retina/

I don't know.. then you have a monitor which has like 7x more pixels than the consumers who will be looking at your photos (if we assume they use 1920*1080), and when editing I like to see what the "average Joe" would see.

Also, on a monitor this sharp, pictures which are wide 900px (for example) are minuscule.

Maybe I need to see one in action, but I doubt I'll change my mind until the masses shift to 4K/5K.

Also, no need to go full-on Apple mode, there's 5k displays for the PC as well: check Dell's UltraSharp 27 Ultra HD 5K

You make a very important point. I have a 4K monitor and everything looks great. The only problem is that now all photos look like absolute crap on all other monitors and devices in comparison. Being able to see what the average Joe sees is very important esp if you're doing work for clients.

I'm waiting for OLEDs. Resolution is great, but I think when OLEDs come on line it will provide another level of depth and off axis performance well beyond LCDs.
