“Let me talk more about the number 126% sRGB that Nguyet Than finds interesting: this number is the a”

Key Takeaways

  • 1.Let me talk more about the number 126% sRGB that Nguyet Than finds interesting: this number is the area of ​​the screen's color area compared to the area of ​​the sRGB color area, so exceeding 100% means the screen can display brighter colors than sRGB, not "more complete coverage".
  • 2.The downside is that the web, photos and most games follow sRGB, so if you don't turn on sRGB mode in the screen menu, skin and grass colors will look brighter and harsher than reality, photographers should pay attention.
  • 3.Regarding VA panels, the big advantage is high contrast, deeper black than IPS when playing dark games or watching movies, and the common disadvantage is that when switching from dark to slightly dark scenes, there can be ghosting, so the figure of 1 ms GtG is just the best level the company has measured.

At 36 inches with 3440 x 1440, the pixel density is about 104 ppi, slightly lower than the 34-inch model with the same resolution. Sitting at a moderate distance is still fine but the text will be a bit larger and less sharp. Mr. Pnghuy, can you tell me if Philips says it can run full 260 Hz via DisplayPort 1.4 or can it only be achieved via HDMI 2.1?
