June 10, 2008... Hewlett-Packard (HP) has introduced its new color-critical computer professional display. The company boasts that the display is available for less than a quarter of the cost of displays with competitive performance. The HP DreamColor Display features a new liquid crystal display (LCD). While LED backlit LCD displays have been around for a while, color reproducibility has been a concern for graphics professionals, digital movie makers, and animators.

Instead of the 24-bit graphics offered by most LED- based LCD computer display screens, the new HP display provides a range of more than 1 billion colors in a 30-bit, LED-backlit display. 30 bits of color has 64 times the number of colors on conventional LCD displays with 24 bits of color. The display is now shipping worldwide for a U.S. list price of $3,499. HP points out that the display is the result of a technology collaboration with DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc.
