Anyone sending stuff to publishing will be working in CMYK anyway and working in a wide gamut, those are niche areas compared to the wider monitor scene. People working just in that field won't care for VRR curved monitors or OLED etc capable of high refresh rates etc, they just want wide gamut accuracy for publishing.
That doesn't mean a curved QD-OLED can't do all that, because it certainly can.
But again,none of the people care about curved monitors,and they can certainly afford it. This is what you and Nexus don't get - just because YOU think its fine for 100% of users,does not mean it is the case.
If it were a lot of the photography orientated monitors would have gone curved and UW ages ago. They have not,and from my own experience,and the experience of other photogs they do no cut the mustard in a number of cases. Plus I know people who do print,and publish into journals too. You are more worried about the tech side of the monitor,then whether the rest actual fits the use requirements of other people.
Your point about why it matters if the masses don't have accurate display setups and then just using the camera in auto mode etc makes no rational sense at all though, and I am frankly confused how you could come to such a conclusion.
You are the one who made it:
for which essentially 99% of viewers will see colours differently because nobody that isn't in the industry in some way bothers are adjust their displays for accurate srgb viewing, all phones default to a saturate vibrant colour output because that's what the masses like seeing, colours that "pop", vs accurate colours which are more flat and neutral.
You were the one trying to say accuracy wasn't important because people don't print and then talk about the "industry" but seemingly don't know anyone who prints anything. Calibration is an essential part of the printing process and for any work which will be published in a printed form. That includes fine art photography and gallery work.
I want to make sure my work is displayed to me accurately, I don't care if others don't see what I see online, but if someone asks me about it, I will help educate them for the better. At the same time I want to be able to see 100% SRGB accurately, hence why I have my display set up for exactly that, whether gaming, editing or watching content.
LMAO,I have been talking about colour accuracy throughout this thread. I had to think of this decades ago. I used to even have to scan film in and do all the colour correction for that(hence learning some hard lessons about it in the process).
Smartphones are used by social media people a lot because phones are super powerful now, especially with AI filters and processing effects that in the past few years you had to use high end applications on computers to do. Now AI powered hardware on a phone can do all of that in seconds. That's the reason why social media users use them so much, not because they don't care about accuracy or whatever else.
So now you are first saying colour accuracy isn't important,because nobody prints,then saying it is important because for "digital publishing" which you yourself said 99% won't care. Now you are saying it isn't important for social media.
I never knew the curved UW posse was so strong! Must be the Alienwate branding.
Think this has gone off topic - I will let you and Nexus have the last word!
