[QUOTE="moosed, post: 1750945, member: 390422"] Hey I think your misunderstand. My previous screen which broke supported the 5k, it worked and displayed at the correct resolutions, everything was fine. The screen i have replaced it with must be a slightly different screen/model which they have started using since late 2015. For whatever technical reasons my late 2014 iMac can only run this screen at 4k... So my next step is to find out what the model number of my broken screen was so i can source that exact replacement. I had previously researched to see if their were multiple different displays available but only ever found one part, thus I presumed it must be the correct one. Seems i was wrong and there are more 5k retina screens which were used in iMacs. Does anyone know of any sites where i could find out exactly what the part number for it is ? perhaps somewhere which lists the components of every generation of iMac ? [/QUOTE]
