Color Gamut and Color Space Coverage
The LP2480zx monitor uses an LED-backlit LCD module that provides an extremely wide color gamut.
This gamut was chosen to enclose a number of color spaces as defined by various standard output
device specifications, which (along with other color-management features in this product’s electronics)
permits the monitor to accurately emulate display devices conforming to these standards. The nominal
native primary set, white point, and gamma of the LP2480zx, and those of...

As plotted within the 1976 CIE u’v’ color space, these gamuts are shown below:

standard output device specifications, such as sRGB, Adobe RGB, and et cetera. This emulation
includes matching the specified primaries, transfer function (gamma), white point, and, where
appropriate, white level (luminance) of the target specification. Preset color spaces...
