iPhone 5 "inferior" because screen only covers 72% of NTSC color gamut? - mikebw - 10-03-2012

[quote newstodaydigest.com ]According to the iSuppli report, Galaxy S3?s display, which is only 1.1 millimeters thick, offers the full color range of the National Television System Committee or NTSC standard. If compared with the iPhone 5, it offers only 72 % of the standard color scale, which measures 1.5 millimeters thick.
Seriously? Will people ever realize that Apple products succeed on more than just the technical merits?
They also confirm production of the iPad mini, so who knows...

Imagine what would happen if iPhones can't run a single Android app natively.

"No Flash !"
Oh wait.. Android killed that too.

yes but it does so on 100% of the screen!

That's like saying the iPhone is inferior to the Galaxy Note II because the Note II is so much bigger.
Read http://www.displaymate.com/Gamut_9.html for a cogent explanation why the the larger gamut makes the S3 inferior, not the other way around.

OLED vs. LCD

For God's sake there are still people running 20+" monitors at 800x600 because they can't tell the difference. No one knows what a color gamut is or cares what percentage they're seeing.

NTSC (analog broadcast) color is obsolete.
How's each screen compare to the common ATSC (digital) gamuts?

What a biased nearly factless opinion trash was that "article"?

Possibly true, but I doubt this is a common occurrence. How many regular people even know how to change the resolution of their display? If you think the answer is "not many", what makes you think there is a widespread problem caused by people going into their display preferences and changing the native res (or default res chosen by the system) to 800x600?
