![]() Unlike that iMac, Apple is offering an alternative to that simple hinge-one that enables the display to be lifted as much as 4.2 inches higher than the base height of the non-height-adjustable model. The display’s flat sides and back are very much reminiscent of the 24-inch M1 iMac released in 2021, right down to the hinge that allows for the display to be tilted up and down. A relatively narrow 13.75mm black bezel wraps around all four sides of the display on the iMac the bezel is 27mm.
