I am intrigued how you combine reasonable brightness, very high colour fidelity, and limited blue light emission ... careful choice of the phosphors used with the LED backlight to avoid having too much content left of 400nm?
Limiting blue light emission also affects color temperature, right? I mean my guess is that they lower the white point from the standard D65 (6,504 Kelvin) to D55 or, who knows, maybe even D50? However that would significantly affect color fidelity, so I would guess that the lowest (and thus "warmest") possible white point must be no less than ~6000 Kelvin.
I suppose you could split the difference and have full gamut in the red/green color space, and then heavily compress the bluer part only; but that sounds like the worst of both worlds to me.
The TÜV Rhineland website uses the language "adjustable blue light" instead of "reduced emission of blue light". I imagine Anton was trying to get the sentence to flow better, and inadvertently changed the meaning by doing so.
I guess it depends on the kind of workplace. I just haven't seen that happen in the places where I work. Most of the scruffy bearded ones and those with lots of visible tattoos don't end up getting promotions (though not due to facial hair and tattoos, but it just seems like there is lower output and less willingness to work hard) so they move on sooner.
I'm not insisting guys shave their faces or anything. Its not my business what they do or don't decide to grow. It just isn't something I see a lot of on the faces of the men at my office unless its a very neatly trimmed beard as opposed to the stereotypical shaggy hipster slob look.
Well, people that work with art and graphics are among the most hipster. So yeah, IBM would be making the kind of mistake they are selling this to suit and tie guys from the 60s.
Positively surprised about the specs. When I read the title I was thinking business just meant Excel. On a more serious note though, wouldn’t it be wise for Anandtech to only publish these press releases once there is an official price?
Would it hurt you to make a good 32" 4k monitor? And maybe up the display port and hdmi version to something recent? Good god, this using older technology and releasing it as new is getting really old.

It's probably the same mode as "night mode" with smartphones. Your eyes will naturally adjust to it.Devo2007 - Thursday, September 5, 2019 - link
They'll adjust, but color accuracy definitely goes out the window with night mode on phonesDanNeely - Thursday, September 5, 2019 - link
My guess would be it has a correct colors mode with normal amounts of blue light, and a low blue mode with screwed up colors.AdditionalPylons - Friday, September 6, 2019 - link
My thought as well. At least from my understanding it should not be physically possible to produce correct colors with reduced blue light.DanNeely - Friday, September 6, 2019 - link

Marketing photo failures galore with all the beards and tattoos. IBM wouldn't have made that kind of mistake in marketing to professionals.Justwow - Thursday, September 5, 2019 - link
Have you been to a company in the 21st century? People with beards and tattoos are quite commonplace. People even wear t-shirts at work(!).PeachNCream - Friday, September 6, 2019 - link

You're about 90 years off the mark picking out generations by presumed stereotypes, but it's okay. I'll still give you a cookie for trying.AdditionalPylons - Friday, September 6, 2019 - link
