Is there still value in a display that is "tailor-made" for my very unique color matching functions, in your opinion? / Roger -----Original Message----- From: Max Derhak [mailto:Max.Derhak@onyxgfx.com] Sent: 28 mars 2016 12:45 To: Roger Breton <graxx@videotron.ca>; ''colorsync-users?lists. apple. com' List' <colorsync-users@lists.apple.com> Subject: RE: Quantum Dot Tech - cheap wide gamut but is it ready for mainstream? Using narrow primaries to discover color matching functions for an individual is different than using them to perform color reproduction with the intent that the observed appearance by multiple observers is the same. The Guild and Wright experiments resulted in multiple individualized color matching functions that were then averaged together to establish the "standard" observer. Thus the standard observer doesn't necessarily predict the color matches of individual observers - especially when narrow primaries are used. Things are much better when broad primaries are used since the slight shifts in matching functions aren’t as critical. A study of observer variability relative to narrow primaries was performed by Asano with results that can be found at (http://www.cis.rit.edu/~yxa8513/Publications/Paper_CIC2014.pdf).

Please excuse my ignorance, Max, but what's the difference between this type of display narrow primaries and the original 1920's Guild and Wright RGB colorimetry experiments where narrow primaries were also used, as far as observer metamerism is concerned? / Roger -----Original Message----- From: colorsync-users-bounces+graxx=videotron.ca@lists.apple.com [mailto:colorsync-users-bounces+graxx=videotron.ca@lists.apple.com] On Behalf Of Max Derhak Sent: 28 mars 2016 09:56 To: 'colorsync-users?lists. apple. com' List <colorsync-users@lists.apple.com> Subject: RE: Quantum Dot Tech - cheap wide gamut but is it ready for mainstream? One of my concerns with displays having really narrow primaries is that they are subject to much greater observer metamerism (among color normal observers). The problem of measuring for calibration is compounded with the problem of getting observer agreement on appearance. Max Derhak (PhD) Principal Scientist Onyx Graphics Inc.
