DREAMCOLOR DISPLAYS

HP DreamColor Technologies improve color consistency from display through printing. DreamColor provides seamless interaction between applications and devices to deliver precise results. It is best in class for predictable and accurate color matching. DreamColor helps you achieve the exact color you envisioned by more accurately matching colors to the original and producing accurate, predictable and consistent color—every time.

ASTOUNDING GRAPHICS

With NVIDIA’s and ATI’s next-generation graphics controllers, the 8530w and 8730w deliver workstation-class graphics with up to 1 GB of dedicated memory. When docked, take advantage of Dual Link DVI support that lets you run ultrahigh resolution monitors—including newer 30-inch diagonal, 2560 x 1600 LCD panels—in their native resolution. HP Mobile Workstations also provide full OpenGL and DirectX 10 support and are fully ISV-certified to provide a high degree of reliability.

This technology leads to advanced graphics processing unit (GPU) performance; it also provides faster transfer and manipulation of 3D textures, resulting in more interactive visualization of large volumetric datasets.
