Understanding the HP DreamColor LP2480zx DCI-P3 Emulation Color Space The HP DreamColor LP2480zx Professional Display provides highly accurate color performance, emulating a number of user-selectable output color space standards. This emulation includes matching the specified color space's color primaries, gamma function and white point. With the exception of the DCI P3 color space, all of the emulated spaces are fully enclosed within the monitor's native gamut and can be completely emulated. The DCI P3 color space contains the widest gamut of all of the emulated color spaces and, as mentioned previously, is not completely enclosed within the native color gamut of the monitor. The following table lists, in CIE 1931 x/y coordinates, the color primaries for the DCI-P3 standard and the native primaries for the LP2480zx. Red x y Green x y Blue x y DCI-P3 (SMPTE-231-2) 0.680 0.320 0.265 0.690 0.150 0.060 LP2480zx Native Gamut 0.690 0.300 0.205 0.715 0.150 0.045 These differences translate into a DCI-P3 red primary that is more saturated than LP2480zx's and a DCI-P3 green primary that contains more yellow. (The DCI-P3 blue primary is fully enclosed in the LP2480zx's native gamut.)
