Dolby bought the technology for HDR and Local-dimming lcd's from brightside which patented local the tech for both. technally any set with local dimimng is using that patent, Brightside were just ahead of the curve because the LED backlight tech available then needed huge watercooling just to work. So people do not associate the newer local dimmed CCFL displays in the same league and currently there aren't dimmable LED backlight displays because the panels use a "edge lit" panel.
All I want to know is how do I feed this display 16bit(48-bit color) signals? HDMI 1.3 DeepColor or Displayport can transmit is but if I have a computer with a HDMI por it isn't going to output anything other than 8bit(24-bit color).
The AMD/ATI FireGL and the Nvidia Quadro both are supposed to do 10bit(30-bit color) but that is through HD-SDI or maybe Display port.
I know Brightside had its old display setup through a dedicated computer and has technology to display sdr images in on a hdr display so as to benefit for the geatly enhanced contrast but if this display is just going to take regular siganls and "upconvert" them most of the benefit is lost.
Beyond that is once movies are encoded in DeepColor the picture will benefit but mastering the conent and creating it makes a full 16bit(48-bit color) path from computer to display.
Photoshop can do 16bit(48-bit Color) "HDR" images and the Jpeg2000 standard can as well.
I'm dying for more info and I'm holding out retiring my sony cpd-g420s 19" crt till I get a 16bit(48-bit color) display that works with my pc.
