Colour, Contrast, Brightness, Gamut, Spatial Uniformity

For an entry-level unit, I have to say that this Samsung has astonishingly good colour rendering. Without finicky adjustment, I was able to get excellent colorimetry.

Colour Fidelity

Let me remind you that this graph shows the difference between the desired colour shade and the one actually displayed.

If DeltaE >3, then the colour displayed is significantly different from the one called for, meaning that the user will be able to perceive the difference. If DeltaE <2, LaCie considers the calibration a success, with a slight difference remaining, but one that will be all but undetectable to the user. If DeltaE < 1, colour fidelity is excellent.

86% of the colours were perfect, 98% were good. Few monitors on the market today are capable of performance this good. The darkest colours were the most difficult to render correctly. Using a calibrator, I was able to improve the situation in shaded areas.

Contrast And Brightness

Black spot	White spot	Contrast
0.47	191.5	407: 1

This unit's contrast, however, doesn't hold up that well to comparison. 407:1 is a little short of current market standards. But the brightness is relatively well calibrated. That means that the unit will be comfortable for office use.

Gamut

Tested with the Gretag Eye-One Display 2 the monitor wasn't disappointing, but didn't really go beyond the bare minimum. Obviously, that isn't surprising at this price. Note also that the calibrator confirmed our visual impression that the display tended a little towards the greens.

The colour gamut represents the richness of the colours displayed. The corners of the triangle are the primary colours (in additive synthesis, of course). The surface of the triangle represents all colours that are displayable by combining the three primary colours with more or less intensity for each. So, the greater the area of the triangle, the richer the colours.
