A query about my findings on colour ranges------>
Been looking at monitors with a view to obtaining one with a good colour range and clarity. I have been basing my judgement on visual appearance of the colours and the extent of which a monitor covers the xy chromacity diagram - of which I have been using an Eye1 to calibrate and evaluate monitors.
To my surprise I have found that most monitors display a (what I would call) small chromacity range. I have tried a Dell 1704, E771 and 2407 as well as a LaCie Electron22Blue II. Based on the fact that the lacie is supposed to be a high quality colour reproduction monitor is gave me a narrower colour band than the 2407 - in fact the TFTs seem to have a slightly wider colour range in the red->green band the CRT.
(I will post the chromacity diagrams when I can upload them - can't do ftp from work - unless someone recommends summat.)
Is what I am finding correct?
Maybe I am expecting too much from monitors in terms of colour ability but are there monitors that will stretch/fill this range significantly?
