Colour Gamut, 72% vs 95%

[MrHaythem]

Hello,
I've seen many monitors with 72% colour gamut, but the bigger sized monitor is around 90%+. I've seen a friend laptop display which is 95% gamut, and it looks beautiful. Will the 72% gamut be almost the same (eyes) to 95%. Viewing it from eye

no, of course not - if there's less colors to reproduce how can it look the same?

 

[MrHaythem]

Will it look similar?

 

[dingo07]

"similar" is a subjective word - it depends how well your eyes work in rendering color

here's the scenario: get 2 identical displays and set one of them to a 75% gamut and the other to 95% - you can do that with a monitor ICC profile - and then you'll see if they are similar to you

no. they will look different.

its like saying is a ferarri similar to a civic. technically yes but in a big way no.

Does both of the disply have the glow/vibrant effect?

if you want the panel to be vibrant you need a glossy panel coating. this is why some monitors seem to make colors pop compared to others. the problem is that such panel coatings create alot of glare which will hurt your eyes.

color accuracy just means that a monitor is capable of actually displaying more colors without dithering. for instance in a dithered image gradients will not be smooth.

example of dithering vs non dithering.
