Those with heavy involvement in the field of video capture
and graphic design would understand how a good quality display can mean a lot especially
when it comes to the fine details of creative work such as colour reproduction.
But with HP’s newest DreamColors displays, this problem will
definitely be a thing of the past. The American company introduced the HP Z27x
and Z24X for PCs and Macs at this year’s NAB or National Association of
Broadcasters in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The two models pack almost identical specs with the
exception of screen size. Both offer 60 percent more pixels, and up to 4000
more colours than its predecessor. It’s is also 57 percent thinner compared to
older DreamColors monitor and yet are 25 percent cheaper.
Both models feature the company’s hostless integrated
calibration engine with built-in support for third-party professional colour
measurement instruments, an Ethernet-based remote management with an integrated
web server that provides control of the display, and a published software
developer kit that allows consumers to fully integrate the monitors into their
workflows.
The also feature 10-bit colour accuracy, dedicated presets
for sRGB D65, sRGB D50, Adobe RGB and DCI-P3 to name a few. Moreover, the
24-inch model is capable of recreating 99 percent of the Adobe RGB range and
has Full HD resolution. The Z27x on the other hand offers a resolution of 2560
x 1440 pixels and can cover 100 percent of s4GB/Adobe RGB.
The new HP DreamColor displays should be available starting
today, with a price tag of $599 and $1499 for the 24- and 27-inch version
respectively.
