RE: Quantum Dot Tech - cheap wide gamut but is it ready for mainstream?
Charles, How would reading the emitted colors from this type of display be any more difficult for a spectral device than any other kinds of displays? / 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 Charles D Tobie Sent: 25 mars 2016 10:59 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? 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. C.

A spectrometer should work fine. A colorimeter would almost certainly need a new calibration matrix, which could be created with a spectrometer. See, for example, ArgylCMS's ccmxmake. Cheers, b&
Spectral devices would have the least difficulty with it. A tiny percentage of people who calibrate their displays do so with a spectral device. Thus my comment. C.
