High gamut

[Paul11]

I've been reading that some people don't like the hi gamut 10bit screens

What is it that people don't like ?

What is the difference with having more colours ?

Any advice as I'm looking to order a 27" soon

thank you ..

i was confusing the 8bit/10bit thing to be high gamut

my uses for the screen will mainly be lightroom and photo editing. tiny bit of gaming and the rest web browsing.

i was thinking about the dell U2711

so if i stick to sRGB space, does that mean im not using the screen to its full potential and might as well not have high gamut ?

 

[Paul11]

if you use the sRGB emulation mode on the U2711 then yes, you would be restricting the active colour space and not using the wider colour space. does the content you are working with need to be in wider gamut or is it just sRGB colour space content?

photos from canon 5D mkii in lightroom (still looking into if these are high gamut or not)

Hi Paul


Sorry...

Anyway, I didn't think that many applications had full support of wide-gamut (might be getting confused here) so I wouldn't worry about it too much. Also, as it has a switch, you could just test both out and see which you prefer? You're going to want a Dell for that kind of money anyway, and seeing as the U2711 is the only fit, it's really that or nothing?

thanks marvin, what you saying sorry for ? ?

well my need is for high resolution so that is why the Dell is in my short list.. The other is the hazro 27" screens also with the same res

You said 'Hi gamut', as opposed to 'High gamut', which led to a hilarious greeting-based joke...
