What kind of brightness are you getting 'native'?

Really? I suppose you have compared the chromaticities of the primaries and
you found they were "better" under 'native'?

The attachment did not come through here :(

I had that happened to me once, with a client, a long time ago, when I was
doing digital photography. The client insisted he liked what he saw. Guess
who he blamed when the CMYK reproductions didn't turn out to his taste?

Well, I am a bit disappointed. I guess all LED backlits are not created
equal. The Samsung XL series really stroke me as having visibly "deeper"
blacks than LCD backlits.
Thank's for sharing these insights :)
