What is DCI?

SolidRedIron

I remember from Linus's video on his editor's tour that the monitor have support for sRGB, AdobeRGB, and DCI.  The last one I don't understand and can't seem to find any articles telling me what it is?  Can someone help tell me please?

should be DCI-P3 or more commonly referred to as P3

it's a colour space, like adobe RGB or sRGB

Ryzen 5 3600 stock | 2x16GB C13 3200MHz (AFR) | GTX 760 (Sold the VII)| ASUS Prime X570-P | 6TB WD Gold (128MB Cache, 2017)

Samsung 850 EVO 240 GB 

138 is a good number.

Is there any benefits of P3 over Adobe RGB and sRGB?

it's just a colour space, higher is better for colour sensitive work (more accurate and true to life, less approximation)

The Dell UP2516D, which is what I use. In my experience the P3 color space has a greenish tint to it compared to sRGB and AdobeRGB. Most computer-centered content is designed around sRGB or AdobeRGB, so most things look a little off. For film, perhaps it's more appropriate though, I don't know.
