    Does anyone know how much the percentage on the m14x r2 display covers the SRGB spectrum? I know the M17x R4 1080p display covers 100% SRGB that's why it has full color and the Asus G75/G55 covers 97% of the SRGB and about 75% of AdobeRGB.

    Thanks for sharing the link. +1Rep. Did you find out how much it is in SRBG?

    From what I've found, sRGB's color gamut is roughly 35% of the visible colors specified by CIE, and the Adobe RGB is roughly 50% of the visible colors specified by CIE
    Working Space Comparison: sRGB vs. Adobe RGB 1998

    While you could just do simple math to get a "translation," I'm not sure how accurate it would be, since the display may produce colors outside of sRBG but inside of Adobe RGB.

    I've personally been satisfied with image reproduction on my R2. I do agree that some other screens look better, and I wish that Alienware would improve its screens on the m14x. Also, keep in mind that I only use mine for gaming and office-type uses.

    I just got an R2 and the screen looks really washed out.
