You will probably find that LCD displays sit on most consumers desks nowadays, however one area where LCDs still tend to fall over when compared with CRTs is color reproduction. The majority of LCD panels use 6-bit TN technology which just isn't up to the task if you are serious about color gamut. The HP DreamColor LP2480zx is a 24" LCD which uses LED backlighting and features 30-bit imaging to produce over a billion colors. That is far more than your standard LCD can produce and arguably far more than even the human eye can discern. So how much does this kind of color reproduction cost? That'd be $3,499, which while still expensive by everyday terms, is a lot less than you would have previously expected to pay for such a display. Not necessary if all you do is browse the web and play the odd game, but great if your job depends on the color accuracy of that latest film, game, graphics project you are working on.
