Reviews
The DreamColor LP2480zx is a powerful display that’s ready to take on monitors that cost substantially more. Its sub US$3,500 price tag comes in well below $20,000 and higher price point that similar displays command. It offers stellar color accuracy in multiple color spaces, and thanks to its RGB LED backlighting offers great accuracy when setting white point. This is the only monitor I’ve found in the sub $4,000 range that makes me want to replace my Apple Cinema Display.

Excellent performance and colour of the HP LP2480zx were to be expected considering its price, and it’s up there with similarly professional monitors we’ve seen, but with a much better price.

A hugely convenient leap for designers everywhere. The colours are starker and more vibrant than on any LCD you will have used before. For designers, this is an obvious choice. If you’re sick of having to keep your old CRT around, cluttering up your studio, then get one of these right away.

The HP LP2480zx is capable of displaying over a billion colours with incredible accuracy, as well ‘CRT class’ blacks. Put it side by side with any ordinary monitor, and the image clarity and colour separation gives new meaning to the phrase ‘lifelike’.
