I have an instance of Apple?s original 27? 5K iMac, and I am no less 
impressed every time I compose a photo on it than I was when it was new and 
I first enthused about it on the LUG. I?m not a professional, so I can?t 
bring that kind of discernment to judging its color gamut, contrast, color 
?accuracy? and so on, but I note that images on it closely resemble the 
images on the LEDs of my M and my Nikon 810A.

Probably unrelated is that I cannot get accurate color printing and overall 
lightness from either of my Epson Stylus printers driven by either of my 
iMacs, despite calibration with a Spyder. FWIW, the prints look basically 
identical to each other, just not to the display or the camera?s LCD. I?m 
still working on this.
