Funny.. if I look up the (x,y) co-ordinates for
546 nm then I find approximately (0.27, 0.72).
This colour is called "yellowish green" !
It may still be slightly superior to sRGB at
(0.30, 0.60), but it is not as good as NTSC's
"almost green" at (0.21, 0.71).

Even if your TV has these non-standard primaries,
then how do we know if the signal has not been
corrected to push the primaries back to RP145 ?
Better primaries can be wrong too, you know...

May we know the type number of your RP-LCD please ?
