The Zone

  

 

Just when you thought there were enough colors in LCD monitors, HP comes along and tells you otherwise.

 

Called the DreamColor LP2480zx, this is pretty much a top-notch LCD monitor, with DisplayPort 1.1, HDMI 1.3, dual-linked DVI-I (analog and digital), VGA, Component (Red, Green, Blue), S-Video, and Composite terminals.

 

It is also HDCP-compliant and boasts a HD resolution of 1920 x 1200, plus it's using the new LCD technology where the panel is illuminated by LED. This gives off a very Plasma-like display as compared to the standard LCD monitor.

 

However, the real killer is its 30-bit (a billion) colors capability, backed by HP's DreamColor Engine, and sporting 6 integrated industry-standard color spaces (NTSC, SMPTE, sRGB, Rec 709, Adobe RGB, and DCI). This is in part achieveable thanks to the LED illumination, since there's no washed-out effect like with normal LCD panels.

 

No news if we'll be getting one for review soon, but the way things are going, the next big trend in LCD monitors is the usage of LED illumination for a more Plasma-like display, offering better colors, and less strain on the eyes.
