[Teeyo]

Please help me find this information or contact the HP. What's the screen color coverage in SRGB and Adome RGB of these model: HP OMEN 15-ce018ng (regular screen) and https://www.computeruniverse.ru/products/90732687/hp-omen-15-dc0001ng (144HZ screen)? Thanks.

@Teeyo,

Thank you for showing your interest in HP Support Forums. It is a great place to find the help you need, from other users, HP experts, and other support personnel. For you to have the best experience on the HP forum, you could also visit our HP Forums Guide for the First Time Here?

I see from your post that you need information regarding the refresh rate for your HP Omen notebook. Don't worry I'll be glad to assist you.

After reviewing your post thoroughly, I would suggest your screen supports upto 60 Hertz and not 144HZ. 

I hope this information helps. Let me know if you need any further assistance. I'll be more than happy to help you.

Keep me posted,

If the information I've provided was helpful,

give us some reinforcement by clicking the solution and kudos buttons,

that'll help us and others see that we've got the answers!

Good Luck.

The question is about Color coverage of displays on Omen laptops. Please provide the information abour SRGB and RGB percentege of every model mentioned.

Unless HP's published specifications for a particular model guarantee a particular screen gamut then there is no guarantee. It might be that HP use panels from multiple suppliers that meet the published specifications and/or change supplier over time.

Panels on OMEN machines will likely favour refresh rate and response time over viewing angle (which needs to be wide so that there is no discernable colour shift as you move your head) and gamut.

There are notebooks, especially from the business ranges, that have a published gamut and are designed for colour critical work. I'm sat behind a ZBook with 100% Adobe RGB and 30 bit colour support (actually it's 8+2 FRC on each channel, though it works well). With the latest nVidia drivers the screen works correctly in Photoshop CC set to 30 bit mode.

Could I get an info on all possible options of those displays? 

Or I shouldn't look for Omen to work with color, better to choose another manufacturer?!

I'm using a ZBook Studio x360 G5 with the DreamColor screen option. As I said, when I upgraded the system to the latest nVidia Quadro ODE drivers (ODE is the stable branch for Quadro; the last time I checked the GPU is not supported in the QNF drivers, which are the feature branch for Quadro) it works in Photoshop CC in 30 bit mode when you set the nVidia control panel to 10bpc output depth and Photoshop to 30 bit operation in the GPU controls. I have verified 30 bit operation using a gradient test file on my internal display, also on the external 4K 30 bit 100% Adobe RGB monitor hooked up to my HP Thunderbolt G2 dock - a Dell UP2718Q.

The ZBook Studio x360 G5 is the active pen convertible form factor machine. You can have a more powerful GPU than the Quadro P1000 (broadly equivalent to a GeForce GTX 1050 - it has to be a Quadro GPU for 30 bit support) if you switch to the non-active pen conventional form factor ZBook 15 (which is rather chunkier that the ZBook Studio x360 G5, allowing for the thermal solution needed for the more powerful GPU).

The DreamColor screen is also available the ZBook x2 detachable though, like most detachables, there are compromises inherent in the form factor. I chose to go with the convertible form factor so that I could have a more powerful CPU and GPU.

The ZBooks are available Configured To Order in most countries, so you can specify the exact combination of components you want along with the DreamColor screen. My ZBook Studio x360 G5 is maxed out other than on storage (it has 1 x 1TB NVMe SSD, the maximum with a dGPU is 2 x 2TB NVMe SSD), which unfortunately means it has an eye-watering price tag.

You could look at other brands, but I came back to HP notebooks from another brand because they had launched the ZBook Studio x360 G5. It is a powerhouse for Adobe Creative Cloud use and a good fit to my other computing requirements.

If you go for a current generation ZBook with a DreamColor screen but no built in colorimeter and you want to use the calibration tool in the DreamColor Assistant software you need an X-Rite i1Display Pro colorimeter (which, fortunately, is the colorimeter used by the hardware calibration software for my Dell UP2718Q monitor). I cannot find anywhere that HP have documented this requirement. The ZBook 15 G5 with DreamColor screen has a colorimeter built in to the trackpad.

I think your mistake is looking at gaming systems for colour critical work. Gaming screens on all brands will be optimised for response time and refresh rate, not colour gamut and viewing angle. If you want the best screens for creative software use then you are better off looking at workstations. If your budget doesn't stretch to any of the ZBooks, there are other systems in the business ranges that have a documented screen gamut in their QuickSpecs document.

I would start by reviewing the systems I have suggested above. If they are over budget or not what you want, post back with your parameters and I will try to guide you further.
