As usual I have to agree with David.
- No process ever improves; so Apple has passed o OLED and on quantum dot -
they have their reasons, and that's it.
-Uniformity clearly must be an issue with a screen that has no backlight.
This also applies to OLED.
- Photographers need high resolution, especially on large screen like a
27". And see point 1 above, resolution improvements are slow and painful.
- How can one expect to disable a feature like Smart Contrast? Not
feasible, things are always wired forever.
- Last not least spectros are not appropriate for screen calibration, and
much too expensive as we all know. Look at the $10K or so Minolta
spectro-radiometers.
David is right: Until Philips or their IEMs bring out bespoke colorimeters
with primaries wired in for the quantum transitions involved, this
technology must be considered unusable, eeven at a pricepoint of $270 list
for 27".
