The maximum number of colors, which the display is able to reproduce, depends on the type of the panel in use and color enhancing technologies like FRC. After I’d calibrated to sRGB mode, it covered 95% of the gamut with 95% volume, while average Delta E dropped to 0.45 and the maximum to 1.32. Those are stunningly accurate results. What’s more, it almost perfectly hit the target colour temperature of 6500K with a 6513K measurement. Adobe RGB (1998) is a color space, developed by Adobe Systems in 1998. It has a wider gamut than the sRGB (mainly in the cyan-green range of colors) and is widely used in professional printing. An important thing to consider for most users is how a screen will perform out of the box and with some basic manual adjustments. Since most users won’t have access to hardware colorimeter tools, it is important to understand how the screen is going to perform in terms of colour accuracy for the average user. The default gamma curve deviation of 2% had been corrected now thanks to the profiling, reaching the 2.2 average with 0% average variation. The white point was also now improved to 6523k which corrected the slightly too cool (6% deviance) default setup. The brightness control adjustment had reduced the luminance to a comfortable level now and contrast ratio remained good and basically on spec at 959:1.Colour accuracy of the resulting profile was very good, with dE average of 0.3 and maximum of 1.1. LaCie would consider colour fidelity to be very good overall. Gradients remained mostly smooth with only a little banding introduced in darker tones. To be honest there weren’t many improvements over just our optimal OSD adjustments in the section above, and while that setup had a slightly different gamma curve, it avoided any banding at all.

So from an older non-DSC card keep in mind that the maximum refresh rate you can achieve is 95Hz, even if you were willing to drop colour depth or chroma to lower levels. This also applies at non-native resolutions like 1440p and 1080p, 95Hz appears to be the maximum allowed, at least with native screen timings. Information about the number of pixels on the horizontal and vertical side of the screen. A higher resolution allows the display of a more detailed and of higher quality image. dE average / maximum– we aim for as low as possible.If DeltaE >3, the color displayed is significantly different from the theoretical one, meaning that the difference will be perceptible to the viewer. If DeltaE <2, LaCie considers the calibration a success; there remains a slight difference, but it is barely undetectable. If DeltaE < 1, the color fidelity is excellent.

Luminance– we aim for 120cd/m 2, which is the recommended luminance for LCD monitors in normal lighting conditions There are various kinds of monitors available for varying user requirements. We have discussed the monitors below. It should be noted that for these tests we disabled the ‘Smart Energy Saving’ function in the OSD menu and also turned Local Dimming off. At the full brightness setting in the OSD the maximum luminance reached a very high 465cd/m 2which was a fair bit higher even than the 400 cd/m 2max brightness spec from the manufacturer in SDR mode. There was a decent 376 cd/m 2adjustment range in total, so at the minimum setting you could reach down to a luminance of 90 cd/m 2. This was a reasonable adjustment at the lower end, and should allow you a low luminance option for working in darkened room conditions with low ambient light although it was not as low as some screens can reach. In very dark settings this might still be a little high for some people. A setting of 7 in the OSD menu is needed to return you a luminance as close to 120 cd/m 2as possible at default settings. LG 5K monitors are a great option for gamers, photographers & graphic designers. Our 4K & 5K gaming monitors have an excellent resolution & high refresh rate to enhance the user experience. Thanks to the IPS panel technology, suitable for viewing from a wide range of positions. Pale IPS glow on dark content could present a problem from some wider angles especially in darker room conditions

Still can't make up your mind?

We also entered the sRGB preset mode which we expected to offer an sRGB emulation, although we were disappointed with what this offered initially: We also went through the additional ‘validation’ set on the right, this took around 3 minutes to complete.
