Hazro HZ30Wi

[bigaboo]

A review just appeared on the tftcentral website:

The price seems great - anybody seen a review of the extra wide gamut version [HZ30Wi-Q]?

Also, the hazro website states :

"The HZ30Wi features a colour gamut of 92% NTSC which almost covers the complete AdobeRGB spectrum and encompasses the sRGB workspace entirely. "

But does 'almost' mean? Will it be lacking in Reds, Greens or Blues? And is it really worth paying the extra for the Q version just so the coverage of AdobeRGB is absolutely 100% ?

Looks like a nice monitor though

Colour space beyond sRGB in monitors is only useful if you are a printing photographer. in non-colour managed applications, sRGB media (all games, movies, web photos) will be incorrectly oversaturated in a wide colour gamut monitor. see http://hardforum.com:80/showthread.php?t=1520842&page=12

The exception is WCG monitors with a 3D LUT which enables the monitor to restrict its colour space to sRGB, such as the U2410 or the NEC PA241W.

Taming colors on a wide gamut display is difficult enough on a 26" - but what about on the Hazro HZ30Wi-Q?. I am hoping somebody here has had a chance to play around with one before I go in for a purchase. I work in both sRGB and AdobeRGB and use 2 different monitors. The Apple 30" allowed for sRGB only but now that Hazro are offering a Q version [wide gamut], I wanted to know whether it'd be a suitable substitute for my dual monitor setup.

Without an accessible LUT, toggling between work spaces is of course impossible. They would have to be stored on the PC. I wonder if a SKD exists so calibration tools [BasicColor Software] can 'talk' to it and manipulate the current LUT?

Restricting the colour space of a monitor requires a 3D Colour LUT built into the monitor that is able to do colour transformations. Units like the U2410 have Adobe RGB and sRGB presets which work very well.
