Hi guys,
I do partime webdevelopment/design and am an active amateur photographer. I've choosen to only work in sRGB. I know sRGB is a smaller colorspace but currently all of my output is sRGB, so for me switching to aRGB would only add extra and unneeded steps in my workflow. Maybe I'll switch someday, but not for now. (So please no advise on that issue;)).
I wanted the NEC 2490wuxi for supposedly being the best sRGB/standard gamut monitor around at aprox. 1000euro. But it's no longer available, so in the end I ordered the PA241W for being the next best thing (or even better;)..)
I intend to use the SpectraView2 software to hardware calibrate the PA241W to the sRGB colorspace. My idea is that this 'limits' the display and essentially gives me a calibrated sRGB monitor (right?), as the needed adjustments are stored into the display itself. But after some reading to last few days, I'm not completely sure anymore..
So, my question:
In my assumption I no longer need to assign a created monitor calibration profile to the OS or to applications or in applications that are colormanagement-aware, as long as I choose the appropriate colorspace that matches my display (eg srgB in Photoshop/Lightroom). And non-colormanagement-aware applications assume sRGB allready, so no colorissues on that end....
Is that correct?
