At that res, my 1Ds2 can't actually fill the screen. The 7D and 1DX can only crop 64 pixels off the edge... The 5D3 gets a few hundred pixels cropping range... basically, you'll be pixel peeping un-cropped images when viewing your desktop wallpaper... you'll see the noise, but the pixels will be 4x smaller, so the noise appear super fine grained.

Off topic, but, I also think it's a (minor) business opportunity here. I'm thinking Jonathan and Joel could make some money selling desktop wallpapers for new 5K iMac owners. There won't be much else available, and their shots are fantastic. Jonathan covers all sorts of subjects from mountainous landscapes, to polar bear cubs... something for everyone.
Huh...that is really interesting and something I hadn't thought about, but what you see at "100%" is relative to the monitor used. Seems obvious now, but 1080 has been a standard for awhile. Even in Arthur Morris's thread on the 7DII he had several references to "for those used to viewing at 100%" and "for those used to viewing at 200%" but those statements only mean something if people have the same resolution in their monitors.

You may be right. But it also has the potential to change many things. If I understand it correctly, websites are set up to not fill a screen but provide x pixels. So, unless there is a feature to fit a webpage to a higher res screen, the whole webpage will be pretty small, if viewed at 100%. For example, I believe the horizontal limit in this forum is 1,000 pixels. For some people, that will be getting to be pretty small.
