The iMac Retina 5K 27" A1419 (Late 2014) (A1419) was released in 2014 as the very first Retina 5K iMac with a stunning 5120x2880 display. Apple's first Retina desktop display was a genuine jaw-dropper, packing 14.7 million pixels into a 27-inch panel. Combined with Haswell quad-core processors and AMD discrete graphics, it set a new standard for desktop displays. We repair every component at our Perth Road workshop in Dundee.
