    More screen real estate with a 4.5K iMac over a standard 24" screen?

    So I've just watched 10 different reviews of the new iMac, and at least half them didn't even show a webpage or page of text on the screen! Out of the very few webpages shown I compared them to my 1080p 24" and my 4K 24". It seems, at least on the settings they had, you couldn't fit any more...

    TL;DR: Now that I’ve upgraded my Sierra cMP from GT120 to RX 580, I was so eager to “enable GPU Performance” in 2019 CC InDesign. Y'know, the same way I can "enable GPU Performance" in 2019 CC PhotoShop and Illustrator. Alas... no. Adobe requires an “HiDPI" monitor to be tethered to my cMP/RX...
