Justechn writes "I latterly had the convenience to see, first hand, HP's new 30-bit, 1 billion color LCD display. I have to say I am impressed. Not only is the HP Dreamcolor LP2480zx capable of displaying so much more than measure LCDs, but it calculated a Color Critical display. This means if you work with videos or photos you can be guaranteed that what you see is what it is suppose to look like. With 6 constituent color spaces (NTSC, SMPTE, sRGB, Rec. 709, Adobe RGB and DCI), you can easily switch to the one that best suits your applications and process. At $3499, it is too dear to be a user level LCD, but compared to other Color Critical displays (which can cost as much as $15,000 and $25,000) this is a real bargain. This display was a joint venture between HP and DreamWorks animation. When I talked to the stewards of DreamWorks, they were very excited about this display because it solved a huge problem for them."
