Potentially a bit better in some cases, worse in others. Is the ability to view the more saturated colors that fall outside sRGB but in SWOP CMYK useful to view (there’s not that much)? Is squashing finer gradations of color and tone that fall within sRGB by virtue of using a wider gamut display useful not to view? We’ve got a round hole we need to fit into a square peg. With Adobe RGB (1998) gamut display, you’re using a much larger square peg in the case of SWOP, far less so in the case of working with Epson K3 inks. There’s always an upside and a downside.
We need wide gamut displays that actually alter the RGB chromaticity rather than start in something close to Adobe RGB (1998) and filter that to sRGB in situations where you want a narrower gamut display behavior. We need both sRGB and wider gamut in one unit.
Frankly, anyone who’s dropping big bucks for a CCFL, wide gamut display for press work has deep monetary pockets more than anything else!
And I don't count SWOP certification as proof of anything ;-)
Me either.
