Q: QuestionReviews criticize color accuracy. Has anyone used a color management program (Spectraview) to improve color accuracy?

Asked 9 years ago by rwhit.

• A:Answer Color accuracy is relative. If you are seeking a machine that will exactly reproduce GREEN at exactly 5200 Angstroms you may have to invent the video processor. Replication of "visual acute color" between 3850 Angstroms and 7175 Angstroms (extreme limits) will NOT be exactly the same between any two displays or any two machines. Ambient light also slightly alters "perceived" color. ASUS UX501 machines are EXCELLENT and reliable!! The display can be operated in three different modes each of which results in perceived differences in color for a given interpretation of the three primary colors of pure yellow, pure red, and pure blue. Spectraview will change emitted wavelength a few hundred angstroms in any machine. If you are so concerned about color replication exactness to NIST standards take your machines to a licensed photometric lab and have the emission measured at each operating mode in a certified non-reflective standard ambient condition. One can and should ONLY be critical if data is presented comparing light emission wavelength based on reference to an emission standard.

Q: QuestionI don't understand a previous answer: "this is a price point configuration and that was where they decided to cut a little" The retail price is $1499 with the standard 16Gb and your "price point configuration" removes 8Gb and is more expensive at $1699?

Q: Questiondifferences UX501VWXS74T x UX501VW-US71T?

Asked 9 years ago by Anonymous.

Q: QuestionAnyone know why this exact same laptop (UX501VW-XS74T) that is sold on the asus website whas 16GB of RAM instead of the 8GB being offered by best buy? Everything else matches up except the RAM, is this a mistake on bestbuy part?

Asked 9 years ago by Walt.

• A:Answer Good question ... It's not a misprint, the unit sold by Best Buy is a price point configuration and that was where they decided to cut a little. For about $40-50 more, they added the additional 8GB of ram. Sure it's possible to get even more power in a dedicated gaming machine but, this sure isn't bad. With the 16GB the machine is a bit of a beast. Hope this helps.
