Cannot find any info via search on B+RG lcd's, or Dell's B+RG lcd on it's new Studio laptop, help wanted

Hi,

I'm debating whether to order the new Dell Studio with the B+RG screen. However, I just cannot find out any info on it, or similar technology, whatsoever. I've tried searching google for "B+RG", "B+RG" lcd, "B+RG" dell, etc etc but it nothing relevant comes up - perhaps "B+RG" is being parsed by the search engine in a way that makes in non-searchable.

I don't want to ask people for info I could find by searching, but I just can't seem to figure out what to search for. Can anyone help me out with how I could search for it, or links for info on it? Thanks.

 

I think Dell's being dumb here and trying to tell you that they offer an RGB LED display on whatever Studio you're looking at. And you can find a ton of info on RGB LEDs these days.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RGB_LED#RGB_systems

 

Commander Wolf is correct. The display in question should actually be called RGB-LED, not B+RG!?!? Dell uses the proper acronym (RGB) when describing the option on the Studio XPS 16. The same goes for the Precision M4400/M6400 that offer the display from Dell's Business division. This is the only time (EVER) that I've seen it called a B+RG...what the???'

Start with the link Commander Wolf provided and you should find some useful info. The RGB-LED display that I have personally seen (on a Dell Precision M6400) was incredible! Color saturation, contrast ratio, brightness were all the best I have ever seen. Using that display daily would be an immense pleasure!

Dell claims that the RGB-LED on the M6400 can show fully 100% of all colors. In comparison, the high-quallity WXGA+ LED on my Latitude E6400 only shows 45% of the color gamut. FYI- the RGB-LED on the Studio 17 is shown to be capable of 92% of all colors, which is impressive!

The 1080p (RGB-LED) display also appears to be significantly brighter than the standard 900p unit. The 900p has a brightness rating of 220 nits (which meets or exceeds the average compared to most other similar systems. Buyt the 1080p has a super bright display rated at 300 nits in addition to the superior RGB technology and higher resolution!

 

So does that mean its going to look like the RGB screen on the XPS16? and if so will it have the problems with the reds like some have mentioned?

 

No reviews of the B+RG display yet?

 

Did you read the previous posts? There's no such thing as B+RG, the proper name is RGB LED, so search for the reviews by those keywords.

 

I don't care what someone 'thinks' is true. Look at Dell's website. Clearly, Dell thinks there is a difference. Dell's B+RG and RGB are definitely different. Hence, I was curious if any one has seen a review of Dell's B+RG screen

 

I'm with you on this one. It's just plain confusing to use two different naming standards, one of which sounds ridiculous - B+RG LED!
I kinda think there must be a difference between this and the standard RGB LED on the Studio XPS 16 etc.

 

Can you link to the source of this info please? I've seen it quoted a couple of times but don't know where it's from.

I guess Dell could be indicating that it's just a different variation of RGB LED technology in using "B+RG"?

 

Or whoever typed that in on the website is an idiot. Tends to happen... a lot.

 

I have the Studio 17, 1080p RGB LED Display and next to my buddies MacBook Pro 17, my Display Destroys his, Both in color brightness accuracy everything. He does heave a little bit better deeper Blacks.

My Half brightness is equal to his Max brightness in side by sides.

And when I check Gradient banding on this site. I have no gradient I am completely Smooth as silk. While His $2500 MBP 17

you can see grade stepping where the transition is not smooth.

... or someone's genius marketing strategy is actually working

 

I'm to lazy to look up the specs on the macbook screen (plus, where would I start, right?) but I do have a question - if your half brightness is equal to your buddies full brightness, is your full brightness actually twice as bright as your buddies screen at full brightness?

I ask because I'm curious, and I've seen a lot of stuff that makes itself look better than it is by unfairly playing with the scale. For example, on my last tv, I would often turn the volume up to 25. I thought "wow, it must be really loud at 100!". Then one time I had something really quite and turned it way up - turns out a volume of 100/100 wasn't actually any louder than a volume of 30/100.
