    Being colour blind, the first thing I do with new games is change the colours so they look completely different to what they're supposed to 😂

      So you need Corrective Color Calibration for your eyes. 🤓
      🤔 This brings up another good point. We all see ... a little bit differently.

      Dude, I am also colorblind! I found out that on my monitor (Samsung Neo G7 32' 4k), it has something called "sRGB" mode. I find that setting the best as being a colorblind person. Some other settings look okay too, sometimes, I like to make other settings saturated so that I can pretend that I am not colorblind LOL

    As someone who uses two different monitors at home for work (I have an M28U, and a Lenovo Thinkvision that my work gave me to use) trying to match the colour and brightness levels are impossible. Even using sRGB mode (and I know both have different coverage) doesn't help either. The tools online doesn't help, and sometimes I feel the only way to make sure your monitors are set up correctly, and matching is to have an expensive tester that reviewers use

      Oh yeah, how do you find those color profile files you're supposed to use like the ICO stuff? I always see a difference to when I use a certain laptop display and when I hook it up with an external display. Never found out exactly how I could troubleshoot that other than Windows-settings manual calibration and trying out ICO files.

      Last week, I installed Calibrite's Display Plus HL on my PC, which is also running two different monitors. I had trouble installing it, so I emailed them. They responded the same day, and we emailed back and forth a few times while figuring out the problem. I turned on the HDR feature when I first bought my better monitor. I never got it to work and forgot all about it. Anyway, my freshly calibrated monitors don't match exactly, but close enough. One cost about $1000 and came with a hood and the other cost about $250, so I wasn't expecting an exact match. I also wasn't expecting such fantastic service from Calibrite.

    DCI-P3 makes thed most sense for the average consumer as P3 is the same color gamut used in film and TV. Adobe RGB makes sense for image editing.

    Oh my god, thanks for this.
    I was thinking about upping my game and maybe transitioning to more "creator" focused stuff and I wanted to start looking into things like 10 bit color video encoding and GIMP (screw Adobe products, that's just me) color space stuff. Thinking of buying a monitor with better than sRGB color coverage. I knew some stuff like the Delta-E but explaining why we have the Adobe RGB vs. DCI-P3 competing color spaces was really helpful.
    What do you guys think about the advertised color space values you sometimes get? Have you found any major discrepancies between any reported values and review test results? Trying to interpolate information between stuff I see on sale where I am and whatever I can gather from display reviews.

      My take is that unless you color grade videos for cinema you're gonna use sRGB since its the standard until we get monitors that can show rec.2020 I guess. So just get a sRGB monitor with low delta E and then a calibration tool (or borrow/rent one if you can).
      HDR is nice though if you wanna work with that but theres not really any set standard for HDR, probably just go for a HDR 10 or 300/1000 nits or something else thats common.

    My Lenovo P32u-10 professional monitor, which cost about 1000 euros/dollars a couple of years ago, has a gamut that is significantly larger than AdobeRGB, and vastly larger than SRGB. As measured using SpyderX. There are very real and very significant differences between monitors, other than just size and resolution.

    I just purchased a Lenovo Legion that says it has 126% sRGB color area ratio, and 95% DCI-P3 color gamut. I dont know anything about color gamuts, etc., but how do I know if I am utilizing the DCI-P3 functionality of this monitor? The icc file downloaded for my Lenovo monitor is just named y27q30 (the model of the monitor).There is nothing in the color management on Windows, display settings in Windows, or the on-screen monitor settings that indicate anything about DCI-P3. My monitor settings show sRGB, but its grayed out as if not an option. Please help. I want to take advantage of DCI-P3 unless it's useless for a 1440p monitor. But why would they advertise it then?

    stupid question to which I still cannot get an answer: Does 125% sRGB mean the monitor has around the same colors and accuracy as an 98 to 100% dcip3 display? or is it just another marketing thing and actually counterproductive for color accuracy? Or does it mean the monitor is able to simulate HDR functions by being able to go darker and brighter or something like that (as some of the many keyboard warriors argue on reddit)?

    • @aaronperelmuter8433
      @aaronperelmuter8433 9 місяців тому

      @@carlozzz3300 No it doesn’t!! It’s a measure of the size of the colour gamut (the range of colours able to be reproduced) for the device in question. If it’s a monitor, 100% means that its gamut is the same as whatever it’s being compared with, if that’s sRGB, then the screen can display the entire sRGB gamut. If it’s AdobeRGB, the screen can reproduce and display the entirety of the AdobeRGB gamut.
      If the number is greater than 100%, this simply indicates that the gamut of the screen is even larger than, for example, sRGB, etc. it has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with “artificial saturation”. Furthermore, it also has absolutely nothing at all to do with accuracy, nothing whatsoever!! Accuracy and size of gamut are completely independent of each other; a screen can have a very wide gamut, perhaps 120% but horrible accuracy. Consider that just because a screen can display a vibrant, saturated pink or green, etc, that says nothing at all about the accuracy of colours being shown on the screen.
