"Note: BVM‑HX310 V1.1 does not cover the ITU-R BT.2020, S-Gamut/S-Gamut3 and S-Gamut3.cine colour space in full."

Even the OLED (i.e. lower end one) can't do it: https://pro.sony/en_SI/products/broa...Block-pvm-x550
"* The PVM-X550 does not conform in full to the DCI-P3 or BT.2020 colour space."


Unlike consumer grade stuff, these things have truthful ratings. 10-bit all the way through.


^ either way, these things will crush CRTs in all but maybe motion performance.
Correct my video card nowadays outputs at 30 bits to a screen that does 10 bit to get billions of colors heading to the Adobe color gamut. so you are correct I Was thinking output rather than screen capability when I was typing. my bad. Thanks for catching that.
