That being so, and considering how Photoshop uses profiles and it's Display
Using Monitor Compensation, would it be preferable to leave the display
"native" and adjust in the application? I was under the impression that at
least with Photoshop, this is done with 21 bit precision.
I believe you could, however only color-managed windows would have the
white point correction. So your desktop, other applications etc. would be
incorrect.

Now you're talking! When, how much (if you can say).
This summer. Pricing will be "comparable" with existing wide color gamut
displays.

Can you have control over both so that in essence you can like the Artisan
set a contrast ratio?
By black point I was meaning just the chromaticity of black, not the
luminance.
As with any LCD, the minimum value of your black luminance is fixed and you
can't go any lower.
You can however add offsets to your lower LUT values to do variable
contrast ratios, black point chromaticity correction etc. The point being
you can only add to black on an LCD, not take away.
