Color Accurate Screens Explained

Color Accuracy and Color Gamut Range are two of the primary elements that make up the ability for your screen to accurately reproduce colors. There is also the aspect of the Delta-E certification that classifies the level of accuracy your screen can reproduce the color gamut range it can reach. ►⏩►⏩ Laptop recommendations in the description below...
What is Color Gamut Range: A color gamut defines a more specific range of colors from the range of colors identifiable by the human eye (i.e., the visible spectrum). Since the range of colors they can reproduce varies, the color gamut is established to make these differences clear and to reconcile the colors that can be used in common between devices.

Adobe RGB Vs sRGB Vs DCI-P3
- sRGB covers the smallest spectrum.
- Adobe RGB covers the largest spectrum and leans towards greens and blues
- DCI-P3 is also popular, but still covers a smaller range the Adobe RGB while leaning towards the yellows and reds.
NTSC Vs Rec. 709 Vs Rec. 2020
- NTSC is a range you will see on some displays (National Television Standards Committee).
- The colors depicted under the NTSC standard is close to that of Adobe RGB, although the R and B values differ slightly.
- Note that if you see 72% NTSC, that is nearly saying it is 72% Adobe RGB or 100% sRGB.
- Rec. 709 is the current standard for HD TVs
- Rec. 2020 is the standard of UHD TVs (4k 6k 8k). It is a range of colors that the certifiers are claiming even sharper, richer and more brilliant images.
What is Delta-E?
- If Color Gamut is the amount of color your screen can produce, what is Delta-E?
- Delta-E is a certification that clarifies the level of accuracy at which your screen produces that range (you’ll see Delta-E less than 2 for example).
- Delta-E is used to ensure the color being displayed closely matches what the human eye receives.
RGB Vs CMYK
- RGB: Red - Green - Blue (the combination creates whites).
- CMYK: Cyan - Magenta - Yellow - Black (the combination creates black).
RGB: Digital work such as video, social media, web design, 3D animations, etc...
CMYK: Print work such as magazines, flyers, postcards, books, packaging, newsletters, etc....
Which gamut range should you pay attention to?
- Adobe RGB is my go-to when recommending laptops for creative professionals.
- sRGB is good, but it is definitely a smaller range and in turn will be less color accurate.

The only KZbinr who talks about color gamut range.. Your content deserves more views

is this the very first channel u found?

This is the only thing I have found on the internet with a side by side comparison. Everywhere I looked, everyone was just talking about it. Talking about it is cool and all, but seeing a side by side comparison is what I've been dying to find. I'm glad I found that here. Thank you.

[@felixisidorsson2958]

Question, does- and if so, how does 16.7M vs 1.07B colours as well as contrast ratio affect Delta-E? This video deserves way more views! Absolutely amazing work.

[@maxheadrom3088]

I don't know how it affects but the 16.7M is 24 bits per pixel while the 1.07B is 30 bits per pixel. I believe the latter is what HDR10 is. AFAIK, these "words" are divided in 3 being 1/3 for each color: 24 is 8R+8G+8B while 30 is 10R+10G+10B. I think the 30 bit will be more accurate if you work with 24 bit images.

[@pilotgfx]

Trying to find out about color gamut vs color range, as i think the latter is an overlooked factor. Can you elaborate on this?

[@32SIX]

Hi there, I am trying to understand rec.2020 a little better. I am looking at filming in rec2020, but monitors seem to only have SRGB, REC709, and DCI-P3 colour gamut. Does this mean that when I am recording, I am just capturing a lot more data which then is compressed when editing in the above colour gamut's? or can you use a monitor that has rec2020 support so that you can edit it like that? if so, what happens when that footage in uploaded onto KZbin or Instagram for example? Its a long question, but really hoping you can find the time to answer. Thank you so much!.... I've liked and subbed to your channel :)

[@iedit5608]

Ty for such an informative videos bro. It helps me explain about the monitors more. As a promoter it's my job to understand this since I sell monitors. If you could explain more about the colors when it comes to see in monitor and print it on the printer that'd be very helpful. Or if u can suggest any video to help me understand more about what I see in monitor and how to print the same colors.

[@thpx11]

Thanks for this

now that some OLED displays exceed 100% DCI-P3, can you provide Rec.2020 coverage numbers? in your reviews.

Between 120hz 60 sRGB and average to bad response time and 60hz 100 sRGB and unknown response time which should I pick ?? I want that for comp gaming I known higher refresh rate is better but image quality I rather be ok .. is 60srgb terrible compare than 100? answer me thanks

[@2randomguys24]

I found Asus ProArt 24" that has 100% srgb and an LG UltraGear 27" that has 90% dci-p3. Which one is better in terms of color accuracy?

[@joythomson6436]

Question: I'm wanting to buy a monitor that says it's colour rating is 99% NTSC and 126% SRGB. So my question is if NTSC 99% is almost the same colour gamut as Adobe RGB (so somewhere between 90% -95% Adobe RGB) if yes, then would it be accurate to say that a 99% NTSC would be pretty close colour accuracy for graphic design (ie print). The Delta E on this monitor I'm looking at, is

[@dereko9743]

If you have a laptop with a lower color gamut %, like in the mid 60s, can that percentage increase if you plug it into a nicer external monitor?

[@mubarakgraphs]

@dereko9743 Yes, if you connect an external monitor that is color accurate (like 100% sRGB, DCI-P3, aRGB etc.) and use your laptop with it, you will see true colors on external monitor. But your laptop's monitor color accuracy will stay the same.

[@Karthik-yy7gw]

Times have changed now and I can see that DCI -P3 is best for the creative streams. Adobe RGB still has to do something better.

[@F4T4LFUS1ON]

Hey, I'm looking for a new monitor, I game occasionally, mainly just watch streams, KZbin and shows. Do I need a really colour accurate monitor or does it not matter for me?

[@cc_snipergirl]

If you're not a designer, you don't need something color accurate but can benefit from the color gamut. A wider gamut will make the colors much richer and get you an overall better viewing experience. Your screen could be 4k, but if the colors are all washed out, it won't feel like it

[@miniDrew4]

Ben, would you say this video is up to date still, or do you think it's time for a new video? Asking because I watched all your laptop reviews first... then looked this up because I didn't understand the color specs you were describing 😅

[@hoadang6040]

I want to know ,How to exchange NTSC color gamut to DCI-P3? 72% NTSC is equivalent DCI-P3 ?

[@weirdskills1959]

Which one i should pick for the best color accuracy Macbook pro m1 or Dell xps 17 ?

[@Zheliya]

Mac of course.

[@alamsyah999]

One thing i still dont know is waht is 100% or 75% argb or srgb mean? Like what those percent mean?

[@stormcycling]

So if I buy a 72% NTSC will it be better than a 100% srgb laptop?, Why the 100% srgb looks better?

[@SomeSloan]

Never mind, found a review covering the color range on this laptop. It was tested to have 99%SRB 70%NTSC 75%Adobe RGB And 385 nitts brightness. Much better than I expected lol

[@SomeSloan]

And an average of 4.71ms gtg response time 🙃

Which screen is better? That with 8 bits colors, but with 45% ntsc, or 6 bits but with 72% ntsc?

[@cristianuk1823]

any monitor with Delta 3 2 or 1 will be rubbish for productions editing, "Not perceptible by human eyes" they mean that some people may not see any diffrence below certain Delta but human eye can see from 0.5 to 0 without issues unless the gammut is above the human perception

This video has some inaccuracies and misinformation that I just spotted. The delta-e definition that you can look up yourself is really not really accurate, also the specs regarding the color spaces that the MacBook Pro M1 screen covers are wrong, just google it and you will see it yourself. I will never trust content from this account if I were you, I would also assume there could be more disinformation in this video.
