Monitor Colorspace & Gamut

In describing a monitor's colorspace, what is the difference between describing it in relation to AdobeRGB as opposed to describing it in relation to NTSC Gamut?:

The NEC LCD2490's 69% AdobeRGB H-IPS screen

The NEC LCD2690's 91% AdobeRGB H-IPS screen

&

The HP LP3065's color gamut of 92% of NTSC IPS screen.

I didn't know that NTSC described a colorspace like AdobeRGB, do they mean sRGB?...

What percentage of the color gamut does the Dell 3007wfp cover?

I appears that the NEC 2690 has the ability to display the broadest color gamut.

sRGB:

AdobeRGB:

ProPhotoRGB:

Are ProPhoto colorspace monitors coming anytime soon?...heheh I want more green!!!

Interesting information... LCD2690 looks very promising!

hmm... what I want to know is, what color space do video cards and windows use by default, without loading profiles or any tweaks

Looks like from this page that:

"sRGB is the default color space in Windows"

What I'm still wondering is what percentage of sRGB do ordinary monitors like mine, (Dell 2001FP) display?

It seems that only recently are monitors being touted as being able to display a percentage of a certain colorspace.

Other thing is what is "NTSC Gamut"? how does it relate to sRGB, AdobeRGB and ProPhotoRGB?

Wikipedia Gamut article:

Still can't find anything about what exactly NTSC Gamut is and how it compares to the other color spaces. Just find quotes like:

"Conventional TFT-LCD's only display 68% NTSC gamut"

My favorite quote found so far is this:

"The NTSC gamut has been officially dead for more than 25 years."

heheh
