I wasn’t aware that all the the current crop of TVs couldn’t display all possible colors that the human eye can see, we’re you?

Researchers in Switzerland are developing a new nano technology they claim will double the range of colors that future TVs can produce — displaying every hue the human eye can see. By comparison, most of today’s TVs — be they plasmas, LCDs or projectors — display only about half the visible colors.

In particular, the article notes that hues of blue in the sky or water are not faithfully reproduced. Expect to see a bunch of split screen ocean waves with blue skies demo pictures on TVs someday in the future.

Last week when I checked out that sweet picture on a 42″ Samsung LCD monitor with Blu-Ray movie, it sure seemed as if I was seeing all possible colors.

I would think the color hue thing would be most important for graphic designers trying to match up true colors rather than ordinary television watchers.

Don’t expect to see these new TVs to be at Best Buy any time soon. Eight years in commercial products is the projection and I’m sure that will be the very high end TVs first, meaning it will be more like 10 years or more before the technology is in your living room.
