beyondthelight Woah. This is one of the coolest looking sites I've seen in years, not joking. So much of this is basically my aesthetic too ahahahaha ꩜꩜꩜ like shockingly close, can't believe I didn't hear about this till now. This is the branding the Daylight folks wish they could have had💀
The price for the smallest + incandescent included model is super attractive compared to all the other competing sunlit RLCD monitors, if this is not a scam that is…
a 100 CRI monitor with basically the highest gamut coverage achieved yet is something that even the wider display community who doesn't care about strain would stlll care a LOT about. Especially because of the potential for wide appeal anyway, I'll wait to see more coverage on this before I can believe it's legit. I'm not much of a crypto fan so I always will be a bit skeptical whenever that's involved, even though anonymous payments is arguably a valid use.
Looks like it used to be called SolarBacklight before now? Both web domains have the same content (although the font is different).
Open source guide (as mentioned at the end) has such huge potential too. Always great to see this — of course doesn't neccessarily mean much yet until it actually happens though.
(and is satisfying for me to finally see alternate ways of doing this being thought of, as so far all of the methods to achieve wider color gamuts have just been brighter and harsher backlights over and over.
There is still the issue of someone who designs content for this monitor either "requiring" dithering or just having a ton of banding though if they want to gamut map sRGB to it's usual less saturated color space. Much more "true bit depth" than just 8 or 10 would be needed to both keep sRGB at its usual saturation level but allow for higher gamut content as well without any banding or dithering)
No FRC really does 100% matter, for example ONYX BOOX is naturally lit but still uses spatiotemporal dithering to display grayscale in fast mode. It "freezes" when still which is nice and only moves when animations or scrolling is happening. But it remains true that during any movement, the dithering noise will move all over the place to random positions constantly and still causes strain and annoyance for me, even if the backlight is off.
Are you affilated or friends/online friends with them? Given that this is your first post here and your name / pfp seems roughly in line with their branding. Or did the university professor reccomend it to you? In that case are they friends with them?
If it's none of those, how did you find out about it? There's nothing on Google aside from the website itself, and even that hasn't surfaced that high up in results yet
What you are referring to is NOT color depth, this is color gamut. Depth means how many in-between shades or "precision" you can have within a gamut — for example 100% sRGB panels each at 6, 8, or 10 bits will all have the same saturation level if they are told to display RGB 100%,0,0, a properly sRGB calibrated screen reading "100% red" will generate a specific shade and saturation of red.
What changes with depth is not saturation but how many steps are in-between 0 and 100% (where 100% still refers to the same maximum saturation of a gamut). 8-bit means this scale is the common 0-255. 10-bit uses 0-1023 instead. Both will take 255 or 1023 respectively to mean "100% of whatever the native gamut they're built to support and 'max out at' is".
However, the gamut coverage of this display is very groundbreaking if true.
(In fact, as I mentioned earlier, if you want to "accurately" display sRGB gamut content on this display in its usual desaturated form there would only be a very narrow range of e.g. 8-bit to actually represent that —
because, if this display is 8-bit but has such a unconventionally wide native gamut, 255 will mean something more like "100 CRI INCANDESCENT 2004 SPIRAL DREAM RED" and not sRGB red😂
So either everything is oversaturated [which in this rare case, actually is a positive and actually has the potential to heal instead of hurt because of such a nice lighting method, basically a selling point of this display]…
But if you trying to get color "accuracy" for existing content on this display [which has never been done with such a wide gamut before], there's either LOTS of banding, which I am actually fine with and MUCH prefer instead of dithering FWIW! — or dithering has to be used)
Finally, nothing comes up for the US patent? Am I searching for it wrong on USPTO or does it just not exist (yet)?
