COLOUR ACCURACY

Colour error after calibration, measured by Delta-e deviance from ideal colour. Shorter bars and lower scores are better

the colour space or ‘gamut’ of a screen is a measurement of how much of the visible spectrum can be displayed. All of the monitors on test can support 10-bit colour depth, theoretically being able to display 1.07 billion different colours. Based on our lab tests, the adjacent charts show the effectiveness of each monitor in displaying the range of SRGB and extended Adobe RGB colour spaces.
