dci-p3 is the emerging standard, with a couple hundred million devices

"The DCI P3 Color Space is an RGB color space that was introduced in
2007 by the SMPTE. The color space features a color gamut that is
much wider than sRGB. All Digital Cinema Projectors are capable of
displaying the DCI P3 color space in its entirety. As of 2013 there
is only one commercially available monitor capable of displaying
the entire DCI P3 color gamut, the Dolby Professional Reference
Monitor PRM-4200."

Sounds as though it might be a stretch too far for the immediate
future.


this may come to you as a big surprise, but the year is 2017, *not*
2013.

currently, nearly all apple products have a wide gamut dci-p3 display,
including the iphone 7/7+, ipad pro 9.7", imac 4k, imac 5k and macbook
pro '16, as well as products from other companies.

The Absolute Color Accuracy of the iPad Pro 9.7 is Truly Impressive
as shown in these Figures. It is the most color accurate display that
we have ever measured. It is visually indistinguishable from perfect,
and is very likely considerably better than on any mobile display,
monitor, TV or UHD TV that you have.
...
The iPad Pro 9.7 breaks many new records in display performance for:
Highest Absolute Color Accuracy for any display for Both Color Gamuts
(1.35 JNCD), Lowest Screen Reflectance for any mobile display (1.7
percent), Highest Peak Brightness in a full size Tablet for any
Picture Level (511 nits), Highest Contrast Rating in High Ambient
light (301), and Smallest Color variation with Viewing Angle (all
under 2.0 JNCD).
...
The Next Generation of Displays* ** Better Performance in Ambient
Light
Right now the iPads are the unrivaled record holders for display
performance in ambient light as a result of their record low screen
Reflectance of 1.7 to 2.6 percent, significantly lower than the 4.5
to 6.5 percent Reflectance currently found in all other current
competing Tablets and Smartphones.


I didn't think we were just talking about iPads.


we're not.

read what i wrote again.

nearly all apple products ship with a wide gamut dci-p3 display. ipads
are just one.

all iphone 7/7+, imac 4k/5k, and macbook pro have a wide gamut dci-p3
display. there are also numerous third party dci-p3 displays for other
systems (or macs without built in displays).

As you quote above:

"It is visually indistinguishable from perfect, and is very likely
considerably better than on any mobile display, monitor, TV or UHD
TV that you have."

It still sounds that as far as monitor screens are concerned its time
has not yet come.


for pcs, that is probably true because they're always lagging and
windows colour management is not as good.

for apple, the time is now. dci-p3 is standard across almost all apple
products, mac and ios.
