HP DreamColor display: Dreaming with a billion colors
For most of us, having a widescreen LCD monitor is nice. But for the more discerning users – art professionals, animation experts, graphic artists and video editors – the LCD’s color inaccuracy can be a critical flaw.
Together with DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc., HP has recently released its answer to this color problem – the HP DreamColor Display. Featuring an LCD that provides more than 1 billion colors, the DreamColor’s accurate color rendition would abolish redesigns and repetitive proofing across various displays.
The DreamColor Display features 30-bit imaging with over a billion colors—64 times the color available on most LCD screens. DreamWorks Animation chief technology officer, Ed Leonard, is enthused by the device.
“The new DreamColor display packs a list of significant advances into one amazingly powerful display, enabling an unprecedented level of color management and fidelity in our production process. It’s a digital filmmaker’s dream.” says the animation executive.
The HP DreamColor Display is a product of a two-year partnership between HP and DreamWorks Animation. HP’s first DreamColor printer was released back in March 2007. The display is expected to cost $3,499.

Except that the colorimetry problems of LCD displays are nothing whatever to do with colour resolution, and everything to do with the colour shift you get as your viewing angle changes. So the client _always_ sees a different colour to what the designer sitting next to him sees.
