Hello list,

 

please be advised, that "wide gamut" is not everything. For
high-end-softproofing only monitors, that can be hardware-calibrated (direct
access to the internal LUT of the monitor) can be recommended. 

Therefore I would exclude those Dell and HP models, as well as all Apple
Cinema Display. They may feature a wide gamut, but it will shrink
significantly when these models will be calibrated via a
"software-calibration", which only offers 8bit resolution for grey steps,
due to fact, that the corresponding curves will be stored in the graphics
card and that the correction will also be done in the ICC profile.

Therefore the wide gamut of those displays is merely a marketing argument
but not worth a lot in the reality.

 

As a developer of a high quality softproofing solution and consultant in the
colormanagement field we only recommend the EIZO ColorEdge-series, the NEC
SpectraView (Reference)-series and/or the QUATO IntelliProof-series to our
customers.

 

A good guideline for the "right" monitor are the criteria of the "Fogra
Softproof Pre-Cert". Only monitors which can fulfill the criteria of the
category "A" are suitable for softproofing.

 

Regards 
Jens Heermann

Hi everyone.
I'm using colorimeter on many models of displays and it will be very useful
have ccxm matrix for every wide gamut display available on market.
Let's try together make complete list of wide gamut display models.
Try to begin:
1. Dell UltraSharp U2410
2. NEC 2490Wuxi2 and NEC 2690Wuxi2
3. HP LP2475w

Sorry for my english.
