4K Display SRGB and AdobeRGB, anyone tested/used GS501JW for photo editing?

[sandorion]

Hey,
I'm interested in the G501 as an photo editing/gaming laptop. The games I play are WOW and Diablo 3.
The most important thing, for me as a photographer is the display and 4K sounds nice for photo editing. But I need a display that has as close to a 100% SRGB color gamut, as possible.
99% AdobeRGB would be even better but there are very few/no 15,6inch affordable laptops that have a 99% AdobeRGB color gamut. So SRGB will do.
Has anyone tested/used the GS501JW for photo editing and maybe even calibrated the screen? Would be nice to know, what the 4k display is capable of.

Thanks

i've been looking at the G501 and other similar classed devices, for many of the same reasons as you. one thing that is really compelling/necessary for me is the matte screen. that said, the take-away, based on what i've found is that the G501 is a mixed bag.

4K/UHD G501 w/ Samsung SDC324C LTN156FL02-101 panel

- NBC's review of the 4K G501 suggests the display is pretty much CRAP for any pro graphics work.
"Color coverage is standard for an IPS display at a measured 47 percent and 67 percent of the AdobeRGB and sRGB spectra, respectively."

- Dave2D's video review of the UHD G501 suggests colour gamut is not actually as bad as that: 96% sRGB and 74% AdobeRGB

FHD G501 w/ Samsung SDC324C 156HL01-102 panel

- NBC's review of the FHD G501 is much more promising:
"Our test model completely covers the sRGB space and 71% of AdobeRGB. These are the highest values among similar notebooks. However, these values are only relevant for professional graphics editors."

- while LTM's review of the FHD G501 has different numbers: 94% sRGB, 69% NTSC, 74% AdobeRGB
"The screen is accurate enough for gaming and other applications which don’t place high importance on exact colors. We rate it as adequate."
