For those with high socres it may just tell you that you have a cruddy monitor with a cheap LCD panel. Those using CRT monitors should get better scores, as the colour rendition is usually better.
Thanks, that made me feel loads better, i have a high quality (although old) Belinea CRT :cry:
Sadly I dont think it will make a difference any way. The number of colours able to be displayed on TFT screens made in the last 15-20 years has been equal to the number of colours that graphics cards are capable of outputting. So wheter it is TFT or CRT it makes no odds.
No, I'm sorry, that's not the point. The colour points of the primaries on a lot of cheap LCDs is very far away from where they should be - pure red looks orange for example. This is a cost saving in the colour filters on the LCD.
You can send lots of gradations from your graphics card, but if the red ain't red then you just get very fine steps between the wrong colours. Photo editing on LCDs is notoriously unreliable.
The eye is not very sensitive to colour shifts around red, so that's the whole point of the test. Colour is a vector quantity between Red, Green and Blue Primaries. If you have the wrong colour primaries then you cannot resolve the colours.
