    I was wondering if anyone has run color gamut tests on their UX32VD? I'm looking for a good laptop while away from my ASUS P-IPS 98% Adobe RGB monitor, and so far the new Zenbook is looking like a good fit.

    "The predecessor may have received a top rating for display brightness, but the equally important contrast was significantly behind expectation. That is forgotten and now forgiven as with the new IPS display, Asus truly does everything right. With maximum brightness, we measured a black value of only 0.34 cd/m² in the central area of the screen. This provides a maximum contrast of 1052:1 with which the Asus UX32VD puts to shame virtually all other current notebooks. Another criterion also exceeded our expectation - color space. According to our measurements with the Spyder 3 Elite Colorimeter, the CMN1343 panel covers nearly the entire sRGB color space. This should satisfy even photographers or graphics professionals."

    Also, the factory calibration seems to be rather decent. I run my Spyder 3 Elite on my UX32VD screen, and the Spyder didn't dramatically change the calibration.

    I ran a Spyder 4 Pro on the Zenbook and it turned 93% sRGB, 67% NTSC, and only 72% Adobe RGB. This was a disapointment when regarding my 5-yr old Sony Z series that is a high-end TN panel with 78% Adobe RGB, 73% NTSC, and 98% sRGB. I'm now considering just putting the money into a new Sony Z that has 96% Adobe RGB gamut coverage.
