The human eye can make out about 2 million colors on emmisive displays (24bpp 8bits r g & b) and about 4 billion (32bpp, 12 bits r, g & b, or 8 bits cmyk) on non-emissive mediums, such as photo's and other printed media.

So my point being, this being a emmissive technology, and considering all hd content is encoded at 24bpp depths, is there any point to producing colors that are visually indistinguishable from other colors that you can draw on the screen.

Maybe they mean it'll be another HDR era monitor, with control over brightness at each pixel, as well as color, that would increase the visible spectrum quite a bit. Current content doesnt have enough color depth to be improved significantly on a better screen.
