A new computer is on the way and I'm having a lot of trouble choosing a monitor.
I know that it must have a resolution of 1920 x 1200, must not be a TN film, it must have 1:1 pixel mapping, and it must not have a glossy screen.
I've narrowed my search to the HP LP2475W, the NEC 2490, and the Lenovo L220X. The HP and Lenovo being wide gamut and the NEC being normal.
My question is: does wide gamut cause over saturation in non-colour aware apps which is 90% of what I'm going to be using the monitor for. I'm not talking about 'technically' over saturated by the numbers but visually over saturated like neon colours. I've seen wide gamut, glossy, TN screens in stores before and they've all seem horribly over saturated to me but I've never seen a high end wide gamut monitor like the LP2475W displaying non colour-aware data before so I don't know what to expect.
