LCD monitors are now ubiquitous in the consumer PC market, with very few CRT models still being sold. However, CRT displays have still been the kings when it comes to color reproduction, meaning they still find homes for themselves in the creative industries where accurate color reproduction really matters. HP have been working with Dreamworks on a new display technology which may finally see the end of CRTs even in these circles. The HP Dreamcolor Display technology was previewed yesterday and uses and LED backlit LCD to generate true 30-bit color, which is a mind boggling range of 1 billion colors (far more than the estimated 10 million that the human eye can perceive). Of course, these are displays aimed at industry, but it is nice to know that there are developments in LCD color reproduction happening, in a time when the general trend for LCDs is a reduced color depth (and therefore price).
