[QUOTE="RavingMac, post: 1709992, member: 45350"] I posted some of this info in a separate thread, but for the purpose of continuity, putting it here too. My main reason for going the 5K iMac route was aging eyes, just wanted larger sharper display. But, was somewhat annoyed the 15in non-Retina MBP that I purchased and upgraded to SSD and 16GB RAM would no longer see use as it remains a quite powerful machine, more than sufficient for my current needs. The fly in the ointment was lack of 4K support, really needed to take advantage of the glorious real estate on the 40in screen of my Samsung UHD TV. Well, I found this and it works very well [URL]http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DOZHL82/?tag=macforums0e4-20[/URL] For $25 I am now getting 3840X2160 and am delighted I should be able to get many years of service from my old MBP. So, will revisit the new Mac question in 2018 or 2019. For now I'm good . . . :D [/QUOTE]
