Chris,
Funny as it may seem but looks like you overlooked a review on
this monitor
Let me know what you think.
I am very happy with this one and have no regrets at all even though it may be missing a few things.
If I had to choose between sRGB and DVI due to budget constraints I would opt for sRGB as it makes life very easy when you use a lot of devices, like digital cameras, scanners, printers etc.
Following will explain better for those who may not know what RGB and sRGB is all about.
RGB
[size=-1] RGB is short for the colors red, green, and blue often used in color coding on web pages, particularly for GIF files. 64K color values can be represented by a byte (8 bits of data) each for red, green, and blue. These are commonly expressed in hexadecimal values from 00 too FF for each color. The color value for white in this system is FFFFFF, where each color is at maximum value. Red is FF0000. Yellow is FFFF00. There is a smaller set of non-dithering colors where the permissible values for each color are hexadecimal 00, 33, 66, 99, CC or FF or decimal 0, 51, 102, 153, 204, and 255 and the results will look the same with different browsers, computers, and color cards.[/size]
sRGB
sRGB is a color space that was developed in October 1999 and defined with specifications compliant to the international color standard IEC 61966-2-1. It is a system of color spaces that determines tone, saturation, and brightness. This enables computer operating systems to easily decode and translate color expression into actual color displays.
sRGB is a standard for ensuring correct exchange of colours between different devices (e.g. digital cameras, monitors, printers, scanners, etc.)
Using a standard unified color space, sRGB will help represent pictures taken by an sRGB compatible device correctly on your sRGB enabled monitor. In that way, the colours are calibrated and you can rely on the correctness of the colors shown on your screen. Important with the use of sRGB is that the brightness and contrast of your monitor is fixed to a predefined setting as well as the colour gamut.
