I thought about getting a wide-gamut display, namely a Dell with rgb-LEDs, but in the end decided against it because its quality seems to fluctuate a lot. And while I do some photography, I don=E2=80=99t do it professionally = or deal with printing. > If your monitor don't have a wide gamut but have a LED backlight then > some of the cheaper colorimeters are also not suitable because LEDs > doesn't emit a continuous spectrum and thus can "confuse" older > colorimeters like the Spyder2 AFAIK. That=E2=80=99s good to know. I decided for an Eizo with a standard IPS pane= l and probably white LEDs. It is reported to have a good colorspace coverage, though. But as I mentioned, ideally I also want to use it on my laptop which has a very bad TN panel with LEDs. Perhaps I could even use it on my very old CCFL monitor which is still in very good shape. > That's the reason why I bought a new monitor (Samsung U32D970Q) some > weeks ago that is able to do a hardware calibration (different > colorimeters an spectrometers are supported). Monitors with hardware calibration are kind-a out of my range still. :) Thanks for your input so far. --=20 Gru=C3=9F | Greetings | Qapla=E2=80=99 Please do not share anything from, with or about me with any social network.
