Is there any way to get the native resolution in Windows 8 for the $2299 model retina iMac? Mine seems to max out at 4k ( UHD ).

I'm running Boot Camp and Windows works like a charm with this one exception.


If there isn't a way at the moment, does Apple have any plans to update the drivers to offer full support? The text is subtly blurry and it causes eye strain for coding and reading over long periods of time. Unfortunately I can't use OS X for work so that's not an option.

There is 5K resolution support yet on Windows8. You can either try Virtualization engines like Fusion, or Display scaling to get better picture quality. 4K is the maximum right now. W10 may address this issue with newer BC drivers when W10 is supported.
