OLED
Pfft, wish they used that money on making OLED displays better.Why so many colours?
I can't figure out why you should need more colours as the eye supposedly only can distinguish a million of them. That is roughly 20-bit colour. 24-bit comes from the mathematical convience of 8-bits for each colour component hence RGB 2^8 * 2^8 * 2^8 = 16.7 million. Why need a billion? I'm sure some Photoshop guru will tell me.I can hardly wait...
I can hardly wait for some lawyer with too much time on his hands to sit and count "only" 999,999,936 colors. Clearly, HP is attempting to mislead the buying public, and their claim of "a billion colors" is clearly a marketing getting ahead of technology. He will then demand $1-billion US for pain and anguish at not having 333,333,330 discrete shades of blue.Add a new comment:
