    As I understand it, a wide gamut screen is able to display a wider range of colors on the color spectrum and someone with color blindness has difficulty seeing/differentiating between certain colors on the spectrum (please correct me if I'm wrong on either statement).

    I have red-green color blindness, would the 95% gamut screen would still be worth it for me?

    Thanks

    I'm color-deficient with some colors, and I got the 95% gamut screen. It looks SO much better than my last laptop.

    I think it would probably still look good

    Haha. You're really asking us if its worth it? Honestly, what do you expect us to know about color blindness?

    I too have the red/green deficiency (not sure how our severity compares), and I loved the 95% matte screen. While I cant really comment on colors specifically, but you can tell that's it's definitely a quality panel and sill worth it IMO.

    Thanks for all the answers. I guess I'll consider getting the upgraded screen if its within my budget
