> The video is supposed to be encoded in Rec 2020. The panel is what it is.

Worth noting that it is physically impossible for current flat panel displays to have full coverage of rec.2020, because the spectral width of each primary is too wide with current flat display tech (LED, LCD, etc.)

Full rec.2020 coverage requires the use of lasers, so you can get a ~spectrally pure primary.

My prediction is that the next big move in display tech after 8K will be a transition from LCD/LED to VCSELs or some other teeny laser pixel, so they can advertise full rec.2020 coverage.

After that, maybe tunable quantum dot lasers so they can get full CIE 1931 coverage, but that's probably at least 15-20 years away.

The panels with quantum dots can theoretically reach an about 97% coverage of the Rec. 2020 color space, which should be enough for most purposes.

There are many commercial models which exceed a 90% coverage of the Rec. 2020 color space. However they are expensive, so they are used mostly in high-end TV-sets and only seldom in expensive computer monitors.
