I'm using a hp w2408h monitor and the colors have always bothered me with it. No, it's not because it's a crap monitor, because I have a Spyder 3 which helps a lot there. As it turns out my problem was simply that it's a wide color gamut monitor. Using the color managed option in Firefox 3 and experimenting with Safari I have come to the conclusion that wide color gamut is a horrible abomination of a feature that has no place in any consumer screens. How am I supposed to enjoy the picture if colors look over saturated in games and movies no matter what I do? What is the point of wide color gamut anyway? I thought sRGB was the standard.
So what are my options for a new monitor? I have looked at many, many monitors and pretty much all monitors released this year are wide color gamut. Do any screens have an option to turn it off? Because they're all useless to me otherwise.
I assume that LCD tvs aren't wide color gamut since it wouldn't make any sense screwing up the colors for all the content that will be displayed on it, so is that my only option unless I have missed some magical screen that isn't TN and isn't wide color gamut?
