One Thunderbolt port on your new MacBook Pro ? Pah. The new 27-inch iMac has twice that many — two. When we got ours out of the box we just had to do the natural thing: fire up as many pixels as possible. Two 30-inch Dell displays and a couple of dual-link DVI display adapters later and we have what you see above: a wide swath of LCD covering covering 11,878,400 pixels. Sure, any average desktop can do this, but how many all-in-ones can push that many dots? The iMac’s 27-inch, 2,560 x 1,440, LED-backlit IPS panel is definitely a highlight, but flanked by another two monsters the combination is, honestly, a little overwhelming. We tried working this way but only made it about 30 minutes before retreating to smaller fields of view. Other tid-bits we’ve learned about the updated iMac: those who’d rather swipe than drag can now choose to order theirs with a Magic Trackpad instead of a Magic Mouse, though we’re sure Apple would surely be happy to sell you both. Additionally, the 21.5-inch model can now be configured with a 256GB SSD, just like its big bro. The bigger news, of course, is what’s on the inside, with updated Radeon HD graphics featuring GDDR5 memory and Sandy Bridge processors all-round. We’ll be back with a full review later to get a feel for just how powerful this thing is, but until then dig all those pixels in the video below.

Hollywood studios feel impact of rapid shift to online film and TV viewing DVD sales plunged 20% in the US in the first quarter of 2011, with Hollywood studios blaming the timing of Easter and a glut of blockbuster releases in the same period last year for the $500m (£303m) year-on-year revenue slump. The sale of DVDs and Blu-ray discs fell from $2.58bn to just more than $2bn in the first three months of the year, according to a report by industry body the Digital Entertainment Group. The DEG study also found rentals of DVDs through outlets such as Blockbuster plunged 36% year on year to $440m. However, consumer spending on streaming and subscription services such as Netflix rose 33% to $695m. The increase is from a relatively low base and the growth in digital revenues failed to cover a 10% fall in US home entertainment spending in the first quarter to $4.18bn. DEG’s latest figures highlight how the Hollywood studios are feeling the impact of the rapid shift to digital consumption of film and TV content. The movie industry is struggling with the same issues faced by the music sector a decade ago, with digital revenues not yet enough to compensate for the decline in sales of traditional physical products. “The industry has proven resilient, with modest gains posted in a number of key areas,” the report said. The report pointed out that there were four “tentpole” cinema releases in the first quarter last year, which accounted for $1bn in revenues, for which there was “no such equivalent” in the first three months of 2011. “The second quarter is off to a strong start, with sell-through [sales of DVDs and Blu-ray discs] up 20% in the first few weeks alone,” the report said. Overall an “impressive array of blockbuster theatrical releases” later this year will “help to round out 2011, with consumer spend flat, or slightly up, and transactions up by the end of the year”. • To contact the MediaGuardian news desk email editor@mediaguardian.co.uk or phone 020 3353 3857.
