+ | For those that work with print publishing, the colour coverage is very important. Otherwise, it becomes very difficult to get the screen to match with the printed matter. This is particularly important for professional print colour jobs. | ||
+ | |||
+ | For colour coverage there are two standard measurements. One is sRGB which is less demanding, and where really any screen used for print layout should manage to get to the high 80s or 90s. The other is Adobe RGB where the best screens are in their 80s and 90s. Even for black and white printing it could be necessary. Here black level, gamma and contrast ratio will be the important measurements. | ||

+ | If planning to use a laptop screen outside or inside with direct sunlight, you want the screen to manage a high level of brightness and contrast ratio. Also, you'd want a matt, rather than glossy finish, as the latter reflects background light. | ||
