So this is my first iMac and yes it is 5k. But Apple mentions that It looks best at half the resolution, lets say 2.5k, downscaling it by 2. So I don't get how 4 pixels forced to display the same color of a dot is better than 4 pixel being able to display 4 variants of the same color for the dot? Isn't that the whole point of high res displays?
The second question is what happens to my media at native 2.5k resolution? My desk background image? The videos I watch and the images/photos I edit? Are they all downscaled by 2?
I am pretty sure there is a valid reason for this. But I am just not getting it. Any insight is appreciated
For people who don't get it, the iMac ships and runs with 2560x1440 resolution by default and not the 5k resolution of the display
