That's umm complete bollocks. The best that I've seen in studio CRTs is distorted in one plane. All others show pincushion distortion. The best CRT display that I used was the Radius Blue which was designed for proofing colour print. It had a dark hood to reduce the colour interference from reflected light (off clothing etc) and it was TBH still crap as far as distortion goes and the colour range was no better than the current LCD monitors sold by Apple.
Appeal to an unidentified "graphic designer" is obviously so convincing. As I said, if he hasn't noticed the distortion of his CRT and as I didn't say, if he hasn't noticed that the phosphors on his CRT have aged over the last 8 years then he's not the all-conquering colour expert
*you* claim him to be. And FWIW I worked in broadcast TV in the 1990s so I've had experience of calibrating and using Trinitron studio monitors.Gamut makes perfect sense in this context, look it up.
ollocks.
No, gamut is a term widely used in any work involving colour reproduction.
Maybe if you stood up, your voice wouldn't be so muffled?
Luddites hold onto technologies long past their sell by dates.
