      I don't know about anyone else, but I think lots need to also be informed about the keyboard/nits in it, IF it's Even backlit. I would not buy without that feature. I don't see that talked about much, at all..in any channels. Also, webcams?, iris, loud fans, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth, etc. I'm buying my first new laptop, since 2014. I'm too confused. This was Extremely helpful. I just started with this video, so if you've discussed, please forgive me. Thank you. This was very informative 😊

    Nice detailed explanation. I came across a zenbook with Ryzen 5600H with 8GB Soldered RAM and 512GB SSD for $699. It seemed like a really good deal, but I'm not sure whether 8GB RAM would be sufficient (considering it is soldered). I'm a design student, so I might have the need to use AutoCAD applications. So would 8GB be sufficient?

    Once again, you link a display's color gamut coverage to its "color accuracy" -- just as you did in your Dell Inspiron 16 review.
    Gamut coverage and color accuracy are not the same thing, and I previously took the time to explain why. But you don't have to take my word for it; research it yourself.
    But even if you don't want to know, you should probably stop misinforming your viewers in this way.

    • @SoulOfTech
      @SoulOfTech  3 роки тому +1

      I’ll be proving a more detailed response shortly in the mean time I’d advise you do some research of your own. Color accuracy is defined as the accuracy of color range a monitor/display is capable of covering. The metrics you mentioned in your previous comment are important but are reflective of display quality not color accuracy.
      For example: the higher the Adobe RGB writing the more precisely the display can show the intended shade of orange. This is a direct indicator of color accuracy.

      I find your reply to be more-than-a-little incoherent, and thus difficult to rebut. Further, I have no clue as to what information on the page to which you’ve linked is supposed to rebut my assertions; you’ll need to narrow that down.
      _“Color accuracy is defined as the accuracy of color range a monitor/display is capable of covering.”_
      A flat-tire is defined as a tire which has gone flat.
      Color accuracy isn’t defined as anything; the term's meaning is self-evident. And a term can’t be defined by itself - which is what you’ve tried to do here. A color which doesn’t even appear on a monitor isn’t inaccurate, it’s non-existent. Obviously an image with colors replaced with the next-nearest color will be “inaccurate.” What’s being debated here is the means by which to measure a display’s color accuracy; reported gamut coverage is not such a measurement.
      Once again, a display can present pixels in 100 different colors (the gamut) doesn’t meant that those 100 colors will properly match the colors according to a reference standard (the accuracy).
      _“For example: the higher the Adobe RGB writing the more precisely the display can show the intended shade of orange. This is a direct indicator of color accuracy.”_
      “Adobe RGB writing”? Don’t know what that’s supposed to mean. But the greater the Adobe RGB coverage in a given display the greater potential for an accurate image made in that colorspace. But the colors in that gamut can be displayed inaccurately as is the case on any poorly-calibrated monitor: all the colors (the gamut) can be presented, they’re just not properly “mixed.”
      “The metrics you mentioned in your previous comment are important but are reflective of display quality not color accuracy.”
      Once again, I don’t know what this is supposed to mean. What are “the metrics [I] mentioned? And how do you somehow regard “display quality” as a concept includes some characteristics of the display but excludes others? Wide-gamut displays are of better-quality than ones with low coverage; color-accurate displays are of better-quality than those which are inaccurate; displays with a higher refresh-rate are of better-quality than those with a lower rate. All these and more are determinant of “display quality.”

      @SoulOfTech  3 роки тому +1

      @@XMACHINAv2 Based on the explanation you wrote it seems the principle of your concern is that I use the gamut range as the primary reference point for "color accuracy". Although really it appears we are on the same page. You are right about the fact that the display needs to be properly calibrated to live to the claimed color range although that is more of a quality assurance aspect. Delta E is of course another important aspect factored into color accuracy and admittedly one I don’t cover, I use RGB as it’s a far more commonly known indicator. I have yet to find a single claim on the internet that has an issue with associating color accuracy with the color gamut range. Which is why I can't understand your problem, are you upset with the terminology I am using? The context? Lastly exactly what would you say the color gamut is a reference to if not color accuracy?
      As far the link that I shared goes, the first few lines should be enough to help you understand that it is a widely accepted practice to define color accuracy/quality by the display's capability to cover a given color range (sRGB, Adobe RGB, DCI P3...etc). It seems your issue is with the industry standard for defining color accuracy, not so much me.

      _“Based on the explanation you wrote it seems the principle of your concern is that I use the gamut range as the primary reference point for ‘color accuracy’.”_
      Using a display’s gamut coverage as the primary, secondary, quantinary, or octinary reference point for color-accuracy is problematic because the amount of gamut-coverage is not a measure color-accuracy - not at all. It measures HOW MANY COLORS FROM A TOTAL GAMUT CAN BE DISPLAYED. Counting the colors a display can generate says nothing about whether those colors are being displayed accurately. Accuracy is measured by Delta-E scoring.
      _“Although really it appears we are on the same page.”_
      No. It doesn’t appear that way to me at all.
      _“You are right about the fact that the display needs to be properly calibrated to live to the claimed color range although that is more of a quality assurance aspect.”_
      **Sigh** Firstly, screen calibration isn’t limited to default factory-calibration. I calibrate all my screens with a colorimeter across three laptops and two monitors and create profiles based on the chosen workflow. If I create a display profile for AdobeRGB and activate it, images generated in other colorspaces will necessarily be displayed inaccurately. That’s what a colorspaces are for. Colors in the sRGB colorspace on this display using an AdobeRGB profile will be wildly inaccurate despite every color in the entire sRGB color gamut being accounted for.
      And regardless of why a screens colors are inaccurate, the measurement of accuracy is irrelevant to that screens gamut coverage. They are two completely different concepts.
      “I have yet to find a single claim on the internet that has an issue with associating color accuracy with the color gamut range.”
      This sentence is incoherent. But if you need to see evidence that there is a difference between gamut coverage and color accuracy, look at the marketing of laptops and monitors with better-than-average screens. Why do you believe the marketing materials highlight gamut-coverage, and separately reference

      @@XMACHINAv2 Firstly thank you for taking the time respectfully comment it is always nice when two people can talk without name calling. I'll start with one piece of feedback I have taken from your comments. I will try to include Delta E variance where possible and relevant for future videos along side the color gamut.
      Now with that said I must say I still do not understand your need to correct something that is agreed as a industry standard. Delta E, RGB Spectrum and HSC are all officially recognized standards of measuring color accuracy albeit through different means. You have not provided me with a single source that states the RGB spectrum is not recognized as a measure of color accuracy or that Delta E is the sole method color accuracy measurement. At this point unless or otherwise you can produce credible material beyond your own professional opinion this conversation will boil down to an entirely pointless subjective debate. As a courtesy here is another credible manufacture (BenQ) providing their definition of color accuracy, the link below only has a paragraph so should be incapable of being too vague or incoherent as you like to point out. Again note that I agree Delta E is another credible method of measuring "color accuracy" and realize its benefits from a technical perspective. I simply provide stats on the common metrics used today in the industry and the RGB spectrum is more commonly stated and requested by most of my viewers, in fact you are the first person who has requested another means of color quality measurement.

      Sorry about your time. I hope you find what you are looking for elsewhere! Have a great day :)
