A sky blue, for instance, might be a tad more cyanish or magentaish than what is absolutely correct.

That in itself is totally insignificant it matters a bit more that the shifted primaries slightly affects the reproduction of individual colors. The reason they specify less than 100% sRGB coverage is just that the primaries are slightly shifted relative to the ideal position, so a tiny slice of the sRGB gamut is outside the monitor gamut. They just refer to total gamut volume, but the actual shape of it, determined by the three primaries, is more important. But for your purpose, you need to decide whether it's worth the considerably higher price.ĭon't pay too much attention to those percentages. Eizos, have emulations that are very accurate, more accurate than what you get with a standard gamut model. It's true that the really good wide gamut monitors, like e.g. You will need to set it to emulate Rec.709, and all that extra gamut coverage, which you pay for, is wasted. Any standard gamut monitor should qualify in that regard.Ī wide gamut/DCI-P3 monitor is at best wasted, at worst a problem.

So what you need is a monitor that matches Rec.709/sRGB (same primaries) as closely as possible. That's right, in movie/video production the standard is to adjust the monitor to the target color space as closely as practically possible, but not use any color management to ensure universal accuracy. I realise I'm probably looking in to this too much but if someone can help/advise then I'd be very grateful. If I were to buy a calibration kit, take the Spyder for example ( ) can you calibrate a monitor that covers DCI-P3, to Rec.709 for instance. As I work in broadcast television GFX should I rule out the LG (DCI-P3) as it doesn't cover sRGB or Rec.709.ģ. Can I get away without having a monitor that covers Rec.709 (I understand sRGB is similar?)Ģ. I've got a couple of questions that I'm hoping someone can help me out with.ġ. I'm a motion graphics designer who's graphics predominantly go to air on HDTV, which is Rec.709 colourspace with the odd bit of gfx work on the internet (company homepages, Vimeo, YouTube etc) The LG covers 95%DCI-P3 colour space whereas the Lenovo covers 99.8% sRGB, 99.7% Adobe RGB and 95% DCI-P3. I'm investing in a monitor very soon and have narrowed my search to two. I'm not sure if this is the best place to post this but it's colour related so I figured it's close enough.
