CES 2026 Field Notes: Quantum Dots, HDR Gamut Rings Beyond L*100, and Why “100% BT.2020” Is the Wrong Finish Line

Nanosys booth conversations with Jeff Yurek and Chris Chinnock, plus my own workflow takeaways and HDRmaster 2026 updates.

This year, one booth conversation stood out to me because it exposed a practical blind spot: we still talk about “percent of gamut” (coverage or area) with diagrams that do not include luminance. In HDR, that missing dimension is often exactly where things go wrong first. I collaborated with Nanosys on a short booth video showing vials filled with red, green, and blue quantum dots (targeting BT.2020 wavelengths). I did the editing, post-production, and the technical overlay analysis using InnoPQ HDRmaster. The clip ran at the Nanosys booth in two versions: one […]
