HP Introduces Affordable Color-critical Display

By DE Editors

HP (Palo Alto, CA) just introduced its new color-critical computer professional display, available for less than a quarter of the cost of competing offerings ($3499).

The HP DreamColor Display, which features a new LCD that provides a range of more than 1 billion colors in a 30-bit, LED-backlit display, is the result of a technology collaboration with DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc. (Glendale, CA).

The DreamColor display, called world’s first such color-critical display, can match the requirements of professional industry standards and includes one-button access to seven pre-sets covering all the important color space standards. Including a night vision interface for darkroom working conditions, the display offers HP DreamColor engine software and the DreamColor kit for precision calibration.

Designed for professionals for whom accurate color management is essential, and fulfilling the need for affordable and consistent color accuracy in product design, the HP DreamColor display achieves more than 64 times the colors available on mainstream LCDs. Reds, blues and greens are deeper, blacks are four times darker, and whites are adjustable.

The HP DreamColor LP2480xz is the first display to be introduced under the HP DreamColor Technology initiative, a two-year technology collaboration between HP and DreamWorks Animation that aims to deliver accurate color that remains consistent from application to application, device to device, and medium to medium.
