    Here are a couple of pertinent excerpts from Charles Poynton’s 5/26/10 article titled:‘B, V and M Are Obsolete’

    “I use the word “reference” because the display used at the end of the
    content creation chain establishes the intended reference for all downstream
    displays. If an identical display is present downstream in an
    identical environment
    , then it should present an identical picture. In
    the consumers’ premises, we don’t expect the tight tolerances of
    a studio display, but we do seek the same aim points.”

    Color appearance is strongly influenced by surround conditions. My
    recent proposal for a new standard is entitled ‘studio HD reference
    display and viewing conditions.'” [emphasis is mine]
