I was wondering what my old crt would have been considered, if it's possible to think of crt monitors this way, wide gamut or standard...showing say 72 percent of argb or more into the 90 percent area?
Can I think of it this way?...
I'm about to order a new monitor, a NEC 2490 or 2690 wuxi...will use it attached to my macbook pro...
work is basically graphic design, 4/5/6 color press work, cmyk with pms spot colors sometimes specified...use of photos and illustration for book covers, brochures, an occasional poster...
Photos are sent out to a lab for high quality prints when needed,...at home on less expensive printers for trial and error stuff...not sure I'd ever buy a printer for home use that was necessarily wide gamut...I'm actually beginning to search for a new place here in town to help with my needs...
in the past, using a crt, I'd do photoshop work in adobe rgb 1998 for US web coated swop...color matching was always excellent, easy...
These days, with lcds, wide color gamuts, it seems more complicated...
so, one last time before I lay my money down...do I need the wide gamut of the 2690 wuxi2 or will the 2490 suffice...I'm leaning toward the 2490...24" is enough for me...and I've read it might be slightly more 'crisp' 'sharp' than the 2690 because it's native 1920x1200 resolution is the same as the bigger screen...
hope this isn't too confusing...thanks for your insights again, in advance...
