New M6500 Discussion Thread

I think so too. The 1.8 is coming from the Color Spyder when it sets up the profile, so I am assuming that it is across the brightness range.

Right now all I am seeing on the "full grayscale" saturation research is that it is used to calibrate the white point (Kelvin) on LCD, Plasma, and DLP projectors. Its the idea that your Kelvin range would change from say 6400K at 20% gray to 6500K at 60% gray. The idea is that you would have a color curve that tracks say 10 levels of gray and corrects all of them to neutral.

The EDID information from the panel says that it is a 2.2 gamma panel, its just not what I see on my screen when I view images like these - http://www.normankoren.com/makingfineprints1A.html#gammachart . I am sure I will figure this out.

 

@tomcom2k: Thanks for the info..!

There seems to be a hell of a lot of technical discussion going on regarding the RGBLED panel, but I can't quite make out what's going on..!? Is there a problem with it..?

I'm trying to decide which screen to go for; WLED or RGBLED..? Any recommendations..?

 

I asked a guy who had M6400 before, he used to try both of the LG and the Samsung RGB-LED Screen. Liked the LG better, but dell stopped using them due to a red color spot at the corners.

 

bokeh, for the hummingbird photo i can see a change in the red on the second leaf that curves downward, kinda shaped like the letter r. is this the level of detail you can't see?

 

Guys, a quick Q. Is there a good reason for a 7-week lead time? (orange 2ghz/8gb/256gb encr x2)

 

Unfortunately this is a new product and clearly demand has exceeded supply for certain parts.

Add that to the fact that the mobile i7 is brand new along with the chipset.
Seems as a majority of us are at the 4-6 week point now with no known ship date.

 

And there is an apparent display panel issue, I think dell will resolve the issue.

 

Apparently, there are 2 news drivers for Win7 and Vista 64bit on the Dell web site:

For the NVIDIA http://support.euro.dell.com/suppor...d=-1&dateid=30&typeid=-1&formatid=-1&impid=-1

and a Backup & Recovery Manager http://support.euro.dell.com/suppor...typeid=-1&dateid=-1&formatid=-1&fileid=369515

 

There is really only one person on here who has even tried calibration on the display they are shipping.

How do we know its not just isolated to his panel?

 

The status for our two M6500's changed today from "in production" "est. shipment day feb. 17th" to... shipped today.

Jesus, that's good news, but not very precise...

So: ordered Jan 22nd, shipped Jan 28th.

That's fast
