It’s not the same as a true P3-D65 display by any means, but for people who feel sRGB is a bit too dull for them, it’s a way to keep those users happy as well. That gives you a bit more pop in the colors without blowing out skin tones, and is the default color mode on the Surface Book 2. With both the new Surface Pro, and the Surface Book, to offer some of the P3-D65 benefits but with the constraints of a sRGB panel, Microsoft provides an Enhanced mode which offer mid-tones closer to P3-D65 without affecting skin tones. While it would be nice to see P3-D65 gamut support on the other Surface devices as well, there are power implications of wider gamut LEDs, and the lack of a true color management system in Windows means it’s generally best to leave the system in sRGB mode anyway.
They started this trend with the Surface Studio, which is the only Surface model to date which supports the wider color gamut of DCI-P3 and P3-D65, but it also has a profile for sRGB, which is what most of the web and applications use. Microsoft also has started to add some rudimentary color management tools for the end user, with selectable color profiles in the action center. The 13.5-inch model is 267 PPI, and the 15-inch model is 258 PPI. The overall density is slightly less than the smaller Book, but the difference is small. For the larger 15-inch model, the aspect ratio stays the same, but you get a few more pixels at 3240x2160. The benefit of a hardware calibration over something you could do on your own is that you avoid issues with clipping the display to correct issues, and of course the other benefit is the display is the right color without any work involved by the end user.įor the Surface Book 2, the 13.5-inch model keeps the same 3000x2000 3:2 aspect ratio display as the original, and that’s not a bad thing, since it was arguably the best display we’ve tested in a notebook to date. It wasn’t always the case, but starting with the Surface 3, all Surface devices are now calibrated, and the Surface Book 2 is of course no exception. They continue to be the only major PC maker to hardware calibrate their displays at the factory, across the entire product lineup. One area where Microsoft has consistently outperformed the competition is in the display department.
