Correct, Deep Color is available via DisplayPort 1.1 also, and any true progressive frame rate.

From the manual:

"... due to the architecture of the “front end” electronics used in the HP DreamColor LP2480zx, the color gamut remapping circuitry will be bypassed if the following conditions exist:
ď‚· The monitor is fed a YCBCR (digital) or YPBPR (analog) signal. These signals must be color-space converted to RGB.
ď‚· The monitor is fed an interlaced or 1080-line progressive segmented frame (PsF) formatted signal (for example, 1080PsF/23.976). These signals must be converted to true progressive signals via a converter box.
ď‚· The monitor is fed an analog signal via the composite, component or S-Video inputs. These signals must be converted to an RGB progressive signal and input via one of the digital inputs, such as HDMI."


This was a useful thread:

As for HP QC you'll read about in the above thread, my first monitor had a bad switch in it.  I returned it to the VAR for a new replacement.  I've been using it a couple of years now, and I only noticed one dead pixel yesterday, as it happens.  Otherwise, it's been a star performer.
