Nu e asa, modul sRGB nu merge calibrat pe monitor, iar presetul lui din fabrica cica are acest mod prea saturat:


Dare to dream. Calibration will not allow you to clamp it down to the sRGB space. It's the phosphors in the backlights you be fighting. Calibration will help, but it still won't be right. While the 2690 does have an sRGB preset which smacks down the saturation to more closely match the sRGB color space, this mode can't be calibrated. Not even with SpectraView. Eizo have a few wide gamut monitors that allow true calibration to sRGB.
Oh, well, over saturated color is the new black.

There are a couple of solutions, the 2690 has a sRGB color space mode. Unfortunately, this space CANNOT be hardware calibrated. So your expensive 12-bit hardware calibrated 2690 LUT becomes useless while in this mode.
Hardware calibration can ONLY be done while in aRGB space.
So with that said, it sounds like unless you are looking at PhotoShop all day, then it becomes a major PITA to work with a high gamut monitor.


uite aici raspunul NEC

Like you, David C, I also contacted NEC today, and did a live chat with their tech support guy. He confirmed that the 2690WUXi CAN NOT BE CALIBRATED when in sRGB mode. And identical to the information you were given, he said images on the internet or programs that don't run Adobe RGB WILL NOT APPEAR PROPERLY when the 2690 is set to sRGB.
