The Raspberry Pi 4 Model B has been launched, despite months of tricky misdirection implying that it wouldn't be on the market until 2020. The technical specifications include two micro HDMI ports, two USB3 ports, two USB2 ports, dual band Wi-fi, Bluetooth 5, Gigabit Ethernet, and either 1GB, 2GB, or 4GB of RAM. Power consumption is noticeably higher than similar earlier models and the power can be supplied over USBC.
From the spec sheet:
takyon: Review at Tom's Hardware. Cons: "Key software doesn't work at launch, Poor high-res video playback". Cases for the previous Pi don't work due to the new micro-HDMI ports. Tom's measured nearly ten times better storage performance using one of the new USB 3.0 ports, and the gigabit Ethernet port can actually reach nearly 1 Gbps (943 Mbps vs. 237 Mbps for the previous model).

How do you find the pixel pitch? Does it seem small, or large? Generally under OS X / MacOS this is most obvious when viewing an image at 1:1 (something I do a lot) so I'm quite curious. Also, how's your visual acuity? My eyes are slowly giving up on me, and really high resolutions will probably require really large monitors.
I was considering the new Mac Pro with a large 8k monitor/tv to replace this older Mac Pro, but don't know enough about the details of true 8k display support, etc. I'll have to redesign my desk-space too... not looking forward to that.
I also like the redundancy of having multiple displays... when one croaks, there are others. If a big single display goes, I'm going to be left hanging, and there are no vendors here at all, so it's either a 600 mile road trip or wait for a slowboat delivery service and hope they haven't wrecked the panel in transit.
I do all 2D work, so it's only 2D performance that concerns me.
