Description:

You see, when a display has more pixels, you need to push more light through them to achieve the best picture possible. LED backlighting in the new iMac does exactly that, with remarkable brightness and efficiency. Because the LED backlight doesn't take up much space, the iMac enclosure stays thin... even with all the high-performance components inside.Seeking a higher power resolution.Apple engineers could simply have stretched that resolution up and out for the 27-inch iMac. But, rather than envoke the wrath of the Display Resolution Gods they took the 27-inch iMac display well beyond HD with 2560-by-1440 resolution.
