The smaller iMac has the same 1920 x 1080 pixel size as 1080i high-def television, and the 27″ beastie provides an incredible 2560 x 1440 pixels.īoth sizes are LED backlit, and the 27″ iMac also has Mini DisplayPort input, allowing another computer or video device (DVD or Blu-ray player) that supports DisplayPort to use the iMac’s screen (it’s not compatible with HDMI, DVI, or VGA). The Late 2009 iMac comes in 21.5″ and 27″ sizes, and the displays have the same 16:9 aspect ratio as HDTV (the Early 2009 iMac had 20″ and 24″ 16:10 aspect ratio displays).
The big news: Apple has introduced new screen sizes and a new display aspect ratio.
