I just saw an article about HP’s newest toy… would you believe .. a *BILLION* color display? Well, that’s what they’ve come up with. Not only that, but it’s a LCD technology to boot. What I can’t help wondering is just how much ram do you need to work with a billion colors and still be able to do everything else the system needs to do?
It’s not *quite* the first of it’s kind, since there are other “Color Critical Displays” available, but they’re costing $15,000 to $25,000 a pop. This sucker clocks in at a paltry $3499.
This is the kind of technology used by outfits like Dreamworks animation, who was in a joint venture with HP to develop this new display. Dreamworks is reportedly VERY excited about this because it’s apparently already solved a huge problem they had.
