Thanks baenwort +1 rep power. I think I'll stay with standard screen after that enlightening info.

Yep +1 rep power from me too. That sure was detailed!

Thanks a lot for the detailed explanation Baenworth. That pretty muched cleared up everything for me on whether to go standard vs upgraded screen.

any one know if the 9150 has 72% gamut or 60% gamut (standard)? and if the 95% gamut has sRGB mode ?

I guess windows 8 is going to be in the same boat, where video games will run uncalibrated?

I don't know at this time but I intend to do some research when the consumer preview comes out. It is possible as they were working on a fix for windows vista/7 but it didn't make it in.

I appreciate technical discussion, but at the end of the day does it not come down to the consensus on which screen actually looks better to the eye, under direct comparison? I've never encountered a person or tech site reviewer, who's seen one of the 72% options next to the AUO B173HW01 V.4, and disagreed with the judgement that the latter is the far superior screen.

In a discussion which hinges on whether a screen is worth the money, experience trumps theory.

Does the gamut screen affect resolution? Or viewing angle?

[Baenwort]

The wider gamut screens often have a greater resolution and viewing angle but there is noting inherent in the technology that makes this so. The gamut of the screen is mostly affected by the back light source and not the actual panel.

Is there any idea on when the 90% matte will start showing up as a configuration option on the more common vendor sites?

Does anyone has the brand / part # for the 90% & 95% panel? I am considering purchase one for my Sager 8170

Mythlogic offers a 95% matte for a $70 upgrade.
