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". :) Edmund On Fri, Mar 25, 2016 at 3:58 PM, Charles D Tobie <cdtobie@mac.com> wrote:
I’ve been waiting with interest to see Quantum Dot technology reach the market. However, after Apple bypassed Quantum Dot due to ecological issues, my enthusiasm has been somewhat curbed. There are other issues here; starting with this being a low resolution display for this day and age. I would also wonder about uniformity in a screen of this price range. And, for color management, there is the issue of being able to turn off the SmartContrast features. Finally, there is the question of what devices can effectively read, calibrate, and profile the display, given its new and unique screen type. I’ll be interested to hear answers to these issues from those on this list.

Rather inexpensive for a large gamut monitor. Intriguing color formation.
Thank's Edmund / Roger
