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.
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 sweet spot is 275 nits brightness for both lit rooms and dark rooms. I find 275 nits to be the closest to true life brightness. THEY say 120 nits is the standard, but I think it's way too dim.
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?
I've had as Oled laptop with Pantone validation 100% Dci P3. I've seen that most of the time my display shows everything as more saturated and it can use HDR.
Awesome video my man! now I can send this to people I'm attempting to explain all this too lol. As a side I would love for you to do a video like this about something like DisplayCal but more in depth unlike most old videos about it, they always leave out so much. 👍
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.
Sometimes my computer screen randomly goes black for a few seconds, and then when it turns on again the colors are much less saturated and there is a blue glow at the bottom of the screen. I have checked and no color filters are activated. Can someone help?
Does it mean that the 8bit 130% sRGB monitor will have more color banding than 8bit 100% sRGB one? because there is more range but the amount of colors is same
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)?
Both looks most same bro Only 2-3% more saturated than srgb 99% For gaming srgb 99% is worth Bcoz games made in 100% srgb not in dci ps3 Only movies & photos do in dci p3 Even TV also use 100% srgb
Does this mean that we don't need to buy expsensive monitors with acurate colors since we can use a calibration device to calibrate even a cheap monitor?
I found some additional info here 🥰💪👍😇that I found useful that wasn’t covered or contained in Monitor Unboxed channel so thank you for adding some vital information to my mental database 🤣😂🤯😋. Keep up the great work 🥰🍻🍻
The problem we're not dealing with the stone-like material but the company, so using arguments from etymology or history has problems. I mean, have you ever seen GNOME?
@@afeliasA friend of mine in college had a decidedly Scottish surname. He was also on a track to a Linguistics degree (eventually a doctorate). He joked about pronouncing his last name from now on as "Johnson" and being able to justify that. But then of course, we knew he really was joking with his friends-not presenting it as fact in front of a broad audience who wasn't "clued in". I don't care how "Adobe" is pronounced, really. It's up to the presenter, as always, to self-correct where they feel it's necessary...
Excuse my ignorance, but if I buy a laptop with P3 display, am I still able to edit photos using sRGB on a external monitor (that supports 100% sRGB)? P3,sRGB etc is specific to the display, correct? I basically want to buy a gaming laptop thats P3, but use it to edit photos in Lightroom (using my existing monitor which is 100% sRGB Calibrated)
@@TechteamGB so my Nvidia control panel gives me the option of 8 or 10 bit. If I set it at 10 bit, does that mean my monitor is automatically set for DCI-P3 color gamut?
@@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.
