Apple MacBook Ultra said to display far more colors than just DCI-P3

[Redaktion]

Apple's MacBook Pro has supported the DCI-P3 color space for a decade. The switch to a tandem OLED panel is expected to usher in a new era of vibrant displays, replacing DCI-P3 with the much larger BT.2020 color space.

[It is time indeed tho]

sRGB:

It was initially proposed by HP and Microsoft in 1996[2] and became an official standard of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) as IEC 61966-2-1:1999.[1]

DCI-P3 is "defined in 2005" (covers 25% more colors than sRGB):

In 2008,[12] HP released the first "HP DreamColor" monitor[13][14] which could display 97% of DCI-P3 color space.
In 2014, Eizo introduced the first professional 4K monitor with support of the P3 color space.
In 2015, Apple's iMac desktop became the first consumer computer with a built-in wide-gamut display, supporting the P3 color space.

DCI-P3 covers 53.6%[4] of the CIE 1931 chromaticity diagram (see inset image), which describes the color gamut of human color vision.

So there's still a lot to improve indeed.

Over 10-20 years, depending how you look at it, have past since DCI-P3 and it's time for something that comes closer to the full CIE 1931 chromaticity diagram.

This is a significant upgrade, as BT.2020 covers approximately 75 percent of the colors perceivable by the human eye, compared to only about 50 percent for DCI-P3.

Yes, BT.2020 would be the next step and I would not complain about it for quite some time. Of course, the sooner full CIE 1931 is covered, the better.

The TrendForce report shows that Apple will not only focus on brightness, speed, and resolution when switching to OLED – areas in which the current MacBook Pro's Mini-LED display already performs well, even though the response time in our test was modest.

Thanks for mentioning the slow response times of their IPS (some IPS reach 4ms, but still require overdrive). I too expect the Ultra's display to be OLED-based as it solves all those problems. I also would not be surprised if Apple uses PHOLED as well.
