Apple introduced new iMacs at WWDC 2017. I’ve taken a look at the 21.5-inch, 3.4GHz model with a 4K Retina display.

The first time you start the new iMac you’ll be impressed by the brightness of its display. You can’t miss it. Apple claims it to be 43 percent brighter than before.

It isn’t just about brightness, not only is the Retina screen incredibly clear and capable of showing the image, but it also uses a clever technology called 10-bit dithering so it can reproduce “a billion colors”.
