Color gamut area ratio ≠ Color gamut coverage ratio
The area ratio describes the maximum range of colors that a display presents. The coverage ratio refers to the overlap rate with the color standard. It can be misleading when some displays label its color gamut as greater than 100% sRGB while it actually refers to the area ratio instead of the coverage ratio (the coverage ratio can reach 100% sRGB at maximum). Professional art monitors have a high coverage ratio for great color accuracy.
Wide color gamut ≠ High quality
Colors that are generated by a wide color gamut tend to be overly bright and barely present accurate images of the sRGB color gamut. It's paramount to switch among different color spaces to produce precise color of sRGB, Adobe RGB, DCI-P3 color gamut in applications like web design, photo retouching, and film creation.
High color accuracy.
Everything on point.
X-Nature Display presents accurate color that lines up with what you exactly imagine. Color-precise alignment makes it effortless for high-class creations and brings your wildest ideas to life.
