Not so. All you have to do is hit the defined points in CIE diagram. The
Pioneer plasma sets hit them dead-on.

Indeed. None of the major display techologies deliver full spectrum,
nor do they need to.

This is true only if you have custom LUTs or decoding algorithms for a
display based on the relationship between the spectra of the lighting and
the CIE standard observer functions that cameras are generally aligned to
approximate. The other thing that no one mentions is that trying to make up
for spectral shortcomings with different filters and decoding reduces the
efficiency of the lighting system.

There is usually a "rest of the story" beyond the naive assumptions that get
thrown around about reproducing color. This thread is full of examples.
