    Does anyone know of a list of laptop LCD color gamuts? I know Anandtech often shows a list of comparable laptops' color gamuts in their reviews, but I'm looking for a list of all popular laptops' color gamuts in one place.

    no idea that would have been handy for me. what I CAN tell you is look by screen type.

    IPS > AFFS> PVA > TN

    almost all Laptops have a TN Screen the few exceptions I know of are: Elitebook 8540w, 8740W, 8560W, 8760W, M6600, X220 which can have IPS panels in them. I have had an 8740w with 10 bit DC2 for close to a year now with a CALIBRATED gamut of 100% + 28%. my MBP 17" ( 6 bit TN ) calibrated at 63% + 8%. ( second percentage is range outside the standard sRGB range )

    eactly, I do grapics design and NEED a calibrated output, and the marketing lit and so called specs are questionable at best from most manufacturers.

    once a scren is calibrated the calibrated numbers range from 10 - 40% lower than the posted spec.
