    I looking to get a 5K iMac at work and I will attach my two existing 1920x1200 monitors via thunderboth/displayport to it, probably in portrait orientation. This computer will use Windows7 in a VM to drive many business applications.

    I use coherence on my home iMac but that is not retina and does not have multiple monitors. Will Parallels work and allow me to use coherence with a 5K retina screen using the "more space" scaled option (3200x1800) and two non retina screens in 1200x1920 orientation?

    What issues am I likely to find with this configuration?

    Hi KerryN1,

    It should work fine. But Windows 7 has limitations of configuration for HiPDI displays, Windows 8.1 configuration is much wider and will be more compatible with Retina. So the resolution could be set to the maximum of what Windows 7 suggests.
