I just grabbed a 2019 iMac today with the 5k screen. Trying to compare my 2018 MBP 15" vs the iMac to see who wins in terms of screen quality. I can't judge. Can someone fill me in before I go crazy trying to decipher the two side-by-side?
 
The iMac has a ppi of 218 while the 15" Macbook Pro has a ppi of 227. so in terms of sharpness I think the MBP is slightly better. color wise they are both P3 color gamut and 500 nits brightness.

Thanks. I know someone smarter than me could explain it better than a Google search.
