M4400 - WUXGA vs WUXGA RGB LED...

Maybe Pantone is compatible with basICColor or iColor Display from Quato?

basICColor can be used as 30 days trial.

PremierColor is built in Precision M6400/6500 together with 8Bit RGB-LED display. And you can there choose in menu NTSC (nativ) gamut or Adobe-RGB and sRGB. But as users write here, that application is not working well.

"15.4" WUXGA TrueLife RGB LED display (1920x1200) featuring 100% Adobe® Color Gamut" tells Dell for the M4400. So is that a "PremierColor" display too, working with 8 Bit?

At present I can not find the direct link on Dell website to display info - but google helps a little :

Yes, I already read that, but that doesn't tell me what PremierColor actually is. Is it a class of quality seal for hardware? Is it a software? Is it a marketing term?

From this thread, it seems that it's color profiles for RGBLED screens built into the ControlPoint software. I never had such settings in ControlPoint, that's why I asked what exactly PremierColor is.

Ah well, seems like I don't need it, but it'd be nice to know anyway.

 

Yes it seems to be a quality sign - also for the better desktop monitors. It is mentioned together with 8 Bit for RGB-Led and these settings in ControlPoint software. But it is nowhere indicated if only RGB display in M6400/6500 is meant or M4400 too... )))) marketing...

Christoph you have the RGB-Led display without these ControlPoint settings? ok!

Cheers, Walter

 

If this is true it would be the very first 8-bit TN panel ever made. Technology wise it is possible, just nobody did it yet. Are you sure it's not just another software solution? Like maybe fine-tuned dithering? It's good to know that they at least do some decent profiling but i'm still doubting whether it's truely 8-bit.

 

LG claims one (only one) of their displays to be real 8 Bit. Look here:

Hi Walter K,

I was looking at that; I was thinking of replacing the M6500 Display Panel, with this one. What do you think?

 

Ah you're right!
Wish they would do this for more sizes. Weird it's only that one model in that one size. Give us back our HQ options!!

 

I hope too! Because i like Dell customer service, always 100% satisfied. Also interested in new Lenovo W510 with 95% gamut RGB-Led display including optional Xrite Pantone sensor for calibrating. But if without 8 Bit I would prefer to go for good 6 Bit sRGB display like your 2CCFL.

Regarding RGB-Led in M4400 I got no info from German customer support - not available here. Maybe a soon upcoming M4500 has RGB-Led again...

so still searching... not a matter of price, only quality - but want to avoid big 17" workstations to stay mobile...

Best, Walter

 

Yeah same here, I'd only go for a 17" if they'd manage to slice the weight by a third or so...mantaining full power ofcourse
And true, i'm still pretty pleased with my display. It's VERY bright, i usually have it at 40% or something but most long hours are spent on external monitors. While the high-res helps greatly in 3dsmax and such it's much better to have that resolution on an 24" or 27"

We can only hope for the config of the updates. I'll probably skip this one and get a new system next year though, who knows what that might bring.
