NEC Announces SpectraView 231 Professional Display

75% of the Adobe RGB colour space is really rather poor for a "professional" monitor.

And IMO NEC is losing ground. A "professional" y1080 needs to deliver 120fps/3D if it can't deliver WORKSTATION SPEC HIGH-Y.

Most of the monitors that claim more have wide gamut backlighting and use a form of dithering to achieve the extended color space, and are actually less accurate over quite a few hues.

I am actually disappointed in the accuracy of my wide gamut IPS monitor. Every standard gamut IPS monitor I have seen with the same size panel of mine is more accurate.

"75% AdobeRGB" is just a fancy way of saying sRGB.

Which is why 10-bit, even if it's dithered, is important.

I'm using this monitor: http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/d...l_cd=&prd_mdl_name=XL20&prd_ia_sub_class_cd=P

It isnt IPS unfortunately, but it does claim 114% gamut. Does anyone have a table to cross compare sRGB gamuts with Adobe RGB gamuts? It just seems that 75% Adobe RGB doesnt sound like much to brag about... but perhaps it is OK.

Fairly easy to understand article on Abobe vs sRGB. Note that almost everything you look at on a computer is in sRGB and developed to use sRGB. Full gamut Adobe RGB shown thru an sRGB medium actually looks worse.

I would also google about cons on wide gamut monitors. If the app you are using isn't color managed, wide gamut looses it's accuracy, and tends to oversaturate.

Even in a color managed environment, a calibrated and profiled 8-bit wide-gamut monitor is still inferior to an sRGB one in displaying sRGB content due to the larger delta between colors.

I know. I wasn't trying to get that far into it until he commented further on it.

Like I said previously, I'm not really all that happy with my wide gamut monitor. It's not as accurate as my non-wide gamut monitors, like the IPS in my older iMac, or the MVA of my Westinghouse. I would've continued to use the Westy, but it the digital input went out.
