What are Dell's standard specifications for screen quality/gamut?
15.6-inch UltraSharp FHD IPS (1920x1080) Wide View Anti- Glare LED-backlit with Premium Panel Guarantee (72% color gamut) • 15.6-inch UltraSharp UHD IGZO (3840x2160) Touch Wide View LED-backlit with Premium Panel Guarantee (100% Minimum Adobe color gamut)
These are the options for the 5530 that im looking at. The 1080p lists a 72% color gamut. How I am able to compare this range to the other 100% Adobe gamut seems to be anyones guess. Note the ADOBE qualifier there. Phone support could confirm nothing at all. 72% Adobe RGB? 72% NTSC? 72%sRGB? 72% dci-p3? These are dramatically different standards. I could guess that they mean 72% Adobe RGB, as it seems to imply, but if it's 72%sRGB that is a deal breaker for this range of laptop. Phone/chat support is no help. Reviewers almost exclusively test the highest specc'd screens (sorry 1080p). So I'm supposed to roll the dice with this and order it?
@svejkovat you posted this in the XPS section but said you're looking at a "5530". Since there's no XPS 5530, I'm guessing you're looking at a Precision 5530? If so, the Precision 5530 is the sister system of the XPS 15 9570. Notebookcheck has a very detailed review of an XPS 15 9570 with an FHD panel here, including detailed analysis of the display. Hopefully this helps.
@svejkovat in addition to my reply above, here's one additional data point that might be of some use to you. I used Google to crawl Dell's site looking for references to 72% gamut on Precision systems that DID identify an actual color space. When I Googled "Precision 72% gamut sRGB site:dell.com", I didn't get very promising results. However, when I Googled ""Precision 72% gamut NTSC site:dell.com", I got several results that pointed to specs pages of various Precision systems. Of course that isn't ironclad information, and I agree it would be useful for Dell to identify an actual color space, but judging by the empirical evidence, it appears that it's 72% NTSC, which should be about 100% sRGB.
I don’t think there’s a section for the Precision laptops. Just saying that in that situation it’s a good idea to provide the full model name if you have to post a topic in the wrong section.
