your guess is as good as anyone else's.
Of course, a 27" iMac, with the Retina screen is going to be much cheaper than a stand alone 27" Apple Monitor with Retina

Hello, in 2011 (?) Apple produced the beautiful I-Mac 27 inch retina screen. However until now the Thunderbolt screen (27 inch of course) still only has the 2550x 1440 pixel screen. I have been waiting for this to be produced now for over one year to be upgraded to the retina screen as well with the fantastic resolution. (Linking my brand new MacBook Pro for my photography). Is this a marketing ploy for the desperate impatient buyer to finally give in and buy the actual I-Mac 27 inch or does anyone have any thoughts of 'when-oh-when'? Thanks Hans.
