The calibration was done with the Displa圜al software, the screenshots are from the profile information shown by Displa圜al right after the calibration. The graphs below show the profile information from both laptops. Both the orange and the cyan from the testfile are located outside that sRGB gamut. The most interesting one is the cyan: that is close to 100% cyan on a coated paper… So you see: you can not reproduce the cyan printing ink correctly on an sRGB monitor. As you can see in the graph below, both colors are located outside the sRGB gamut. The two colors were carefully chosen for this test.

You can download the testfile used in the picture: as a JPEG, or as a PDF. You need to check this if you are using a laptop for design, for photography! Top left: Lenovo Tablet Yoga 2-8, bottom left: Dell Latitude E5470, top right: Nokia Lumia 930, bottom right: Acer Nitro Vn7-592G. Please note that laptops with a (nearly) 100% AdobeRGB screen are quite rare… Most laptops have a smaller gamut. Both were calibrated before the picture was taken, with Displa圜AL and the X-Rite i1 Display Pro. The other laptop, on the left, has a smaller gamut, more or less sRGB (Dell Latitude E5470). The large laptop on the right has a screen that is capable of reproducing nearly 100% AdobeRGB (Acer Nitro Vn7-592G).
They all show the same picture… but they just don’t match. Let’s do a practical test: in the picture at the top of the article and also below you see four screens: two laptops, a tablet and a smart phone. A ‘sRGB’ monitor will not suffice to reproduce all colors that can be printed. For color critical work, you should use a monitor that is capable of reproducing the AdobeRGB gamut. And most are just not suitable for color critical work. Let’s look at the three main reasons why it can go wrong: the screen as such, the operating system and the app used.ĬONTENTS: The screen | The OS | The app | Test ICC support it yourself! | The environment… | Why is this important? But that’s not always a good idea: there are multiple factors that can influence the color that is displayed. With screens all around us, some people also use them for color evaluation.
