Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

It originally started in the context of what's changed from the U2410, and I'm preaching nothing other than that I'd rather technology moved in the direction of displaying the "reality" of what our eyes can actually see to the best of its ability. Gamut is only a small part involved in achieving... -

Nobody is saying a wide gamut screen shouldn't support sRGB well! A good sRGB mode implementation essentially makes this a non-issue anyway. Instead you seem to ignore the bigger point, which is that we should strive to move on from sRGB because our eyes can see a much wider range of colours... -

That's essentially possible now. You can tell Windows to use an ICM file which describes the gamut of the monitor to it. But what's happened is Microsoft, rather than allow it to be enabled by default for all desktop content, lets each application handle support themselves. So the ICM file... -

Even if you over-saturate red on an sRGB device, it's still not going to give you the red a very wide gamut device produces. And there is no "wrong" when it comes to subjective personal visual preferences. There's what looks good and what doesn't. I wouldn't call permanently sticking with a... -

True :) Although WG goes a bit beyond that, because it's not just boosting saturation - it's genuinely producing colours which are wider on the spectrum. But that's exactly what many people do - watch lots of SD TV content on an HD TV. They're still free to view HD though. The point is they have... -

True. Emulating different colour spaces properly requires less basic circuitry. But it needn't add anything significant to costs, especially if something is mass manufactured rather than treated as a more niche market part - as is generally the case with wide gamut now. Having said that, the... -

Oh really? Feel free to produce your photographic evidence which "proves" this. I look forward to it :) Ya don't say :D They don't, actually. The best? Hardly. But nobody ever said that. I'm saying it's not bad enough to change the fact that the image quality on the U2410 is rather nice overall... -

Sure, and that was the point! Just because people intend one thing, and it doesn't match a spec sheet, doesn't mean it won't actually look great. A very wide gamut really pops those colours. As long as there aren't scenarios that require things, like an accurate representation of human skin... -

Oh. You mean the sort of gradients that rarely appear on things like TV or movie content, but commonly appear on things like computer content, where a GUI or web page background makes a transition between two colour shades? You are. What you're talking about is the eyes ability to discern them... -

I beg to differ. The pop of the colours makes some games look great in my opinion. For you, in your opinion. The fact is human eyes can see a much wider range of colours than the limited range sRGB represents. I think it makes for a nice improvement, in visual quality, when your eyes are allowed... -

Ok then, switch the U2410 to Game Mode. Now switch to sRGB mode without confirming it on the menu. Congratulations - you now have the reduced input lag of Game Mode with sRGB colours. You seem determined to hammer the U2410 at every mention. Image quality is about way more than contrast. As I... -

I'm curious what your experience with the Lagom.nl black level and, in particular, white saturation tests are? I ask because I've had some quite nasty experiences with a few recent 6 bit panels which those tests show. EG When you look at the white squares, in the saturation test, do you spot... -

I thought what I said was clearly in the context of talking about calibrated Vs non-calibrated screens, as the next few sentences that you (naturally) didn't quote hopefully showed. If you don't think so then I'm hardly going to get into arguments about reading comprehension, or the need to... -

I haven't suggested that even once. What I said was a well calibrated sRGB mode, on a wide gamut screen, might well be more accurate than many standard sRGB screens out there that have had no calibration performed. Hardly an unreasonable suggestion. They're both aiming towards the same goal, and... -

Tint is not a universal issue and appears to apply to a minority of screens (How much of a minority being a question only Dell/LG could probably answer properly). Contrast? After 2 years of heavy usage the U2410 is still too bright for my eyes past 50%, and I'm able to differentiate every shade...
