[Tig] HP Dreamcolor display

[Rob Lingelbach]

Here's a new posting on Slashdot.   I am not in any way connected with  
HP.

"I recently had the opportunity 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  
standard LCDs, but it considered 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 built-in 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 expensive to be a consumer 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 executives  
of DreamWorks, they were very excited about this display because it  
solved a huge problem for them."
