Joke is on them to think I care about any of this when I work on my company-issued ThinkPad T14 with a 45% NTSC screen that maxes out at 300 nits. Realisticall

Realistically, at this time, this is for developers who works on a MacBook and creates web pages for users that use MacBook or iPad Air/Pro. Most Windows laptops under $600 don't even have sRGB, and even some over $1k don't (like my ThinkPad). sRGB is often as good as it gets with regard to color gamut on (all) Windows laptops, P3 color coverage is very rare. Even more so for Chromebooks. When it comes to monitors, most target sRGB.
Of course what they are doing is important, but it will be a long time before most people can benefit from it.
- jameshart 3y agoMobile devices represent more than half of web traffic in general. Windows laptops are not the primary device CSS color support is trying to address. Apple, Samsung and Google all ship devices with display P3 capable screens.
- zokier 3y agoI wouldn't call P3 very rare. Thinkpads are available with 100% DCI-P3 OLED displays in addition to 100% sRGB IPS displays. Your company is just cheaping on the configuration. Same goes for Dell XPS line and HP Zbooks, latter which also have P3 IPS display configuration available. Sure, lots of random corporate office workers might have some crappy bottom of the barrel displays, but then you don't need P3 to see five colors in Excel.
- pquki4 3y agoI am aware that there are ThinkPads with P3 displays, but only in very specific configuration. Most come with 45% NTSC displays, and 100% sRGB is an upgrade option in T series. If you don't believe me, you can go to lenovo.com and check this right now. With regard to other brands, yes they have P3 "available", but most standard configurations come with 100% sRGB. And yes I did research on that as well.

- Jonnax 3y agoiPhones and Android phones don't exist? Perhaps all Android phones are $200 and don't support HDR. There's a lot of windows laptops that support P3 or in the case of some OLED displays exceed Display P3's gamut. The same for monitors. There's 4K OLEDs hitting the market hitting about 80% rec 2020 and completely covering Display P3. Your display market knowledge is a few years outdated.
- pquki4 3y agoWhen I say "rare", I didn't mean that the models don't exist. I meant that the screens in devices that most people actually buy are crap. I am very aware that there are laptops with OLED screens, and OLED monitors. But they are still in the minority, especially those expensive OLED monitors. If you want to know what the market is really like for Windows devices or monitors, go to Amazon or Best Buy, find the best selling items, and check the display specs. I can guarantee very few support P3.
