Hm, to reduce errors I took 5 measurements in each mode (Hi-Res and Normal) and 
averaged the results. Then I compared the results.

For example, the colorimetric differences in deltaE [CIE 1994] on BenQ G2222HDL 
display (standard gamut LED-backlit) were:
blue:    0.176
green:   0.146
yellow:  0.162
red:     0.173
magenta: 0.174
cyan:    0.106
white:   0.179

I've also tested NEC 2690WUXi2, HP LP2475w (CCFL-backlit, wide gamut); Acer 
AL1716, ViewSonic VA903m (CCFL-backlit, standard gamut); netbook Asus 1201n 
(LED-backlit, narrow gamut). As I pointed out previously max deltaE [CIE 1994] 
was less than 0.3
