Aside from the new mobile workstations, HP has also announced two ENERGY STAR compliant widescreen displays for workstation users. The LP2475w is 1,920 x 1,200 resolution and has a 102 percent color gamut, while the LP2275w is 1,680 x 1,050 resolution with a 92 percent color range.
HP have unveiled a set of new mobile workstations, the 8530w and 8730w, with options including Blu-ray, up to 8GB of RAM and the company’s WUXGA DreamColor display. Both notebooks have a choice of Intel Core2 Duo (up to 3.06 GHz, 6 MB L2 cache) or Core2 quad-core mobile processors, military-spec casings and a choice of RAID array HDDs. As our hands-on pictures show, taken earlier this month in San Francisco, the DreamColor display simply wipes the floor with the standard LCD panel. There may not be quite the one-billion colors the original DreamColor displays boast, but for a mobile workstation it’s incredible.
Last week we took you behind the scenes of DreamWorks Kung Fu Pandaand the brand new server-farm HP put together for the hundreds of animators. Now we’ve got some more exclusive photos and video for you, this time of the DreamColor monitors HP created to replace the CRTs traditionally relied on in animation and graphics. Developed with DreamWorks, the HP DreamColor LP2480zx Professional LCD Display is the World’s only color-critical LCD based on HP DreamColor Engine technology: 24-inches of one billion active colors and CRT-class black.
