I don't understand this.

What the hell is a quantum color gamut?

And how can a TV have a gaming engine? I mean, I understand that it can be a smart TV, but that just gives it the ability to act as a computer for web browsers and such, not a whole computer. Are there games made specifically to run on TVs, without using consoles?

Hmm, wonder if this is spam, since that link redirects...

Yeah, it's uh, not really that much more than marketing bullhonkey terms for a reduced latency mode and maybe a deep color gamut. Shrug.

Thanks amok, I know what gamut means but I wasn't familiar with the quantum one, and it sounded weird to me, because I was imagining that it somehow had directly to do with quarks or something. In any case, the reason why they normally limit the saturation, particularly of the red and especially the blue, is because eyes are more sensitive to them, so that if you make them as colorful as possible then it will cause what should be pure gray to actually look greenish. Doesn't that happen with this then?

Obligatory lexicographic elucidation (Oxford English Dictionary, 11th Edition):

Who would have thought it, English is a contextual language. Shock, horror etc.

"In color reproduction and colorimetry, a gamut, or color gamut /ˈɡæmət/, is a convex set containing the colors that can be accurately represented, i.e. reproduced by an output device (e.g. printer or display) or measured by an input device (e.g. camera or visual system). Devices with a larger gamut can represent more colors. Similarly, gamut may also refer to the colors within a defined color space, which is not linked to a specific device. A trichromatic gamut is often visualized as a color triangle. A less common usage defines gamut as the subset of colors contained within an image, scene or video."

Fine, but doesn't gray look greenish when the fully colorful green is used?

Don't blow out the color channels and adjust them until they look good to you?

Is that a question?

It's a question in a rhetorical sense.

There you go, that didn't take too much more effort, did it? *grin* (You didn't cite your reference, despite using direct quotation marks. That's a little odd.)

Perhaps I will investigate this teleological derivative of the root, later; I am more interested in origins — for now. At least others may do so, so, look at how useful your contribution has become!

Tangent:
This is an example of the Variability of Big Data. (There are Seven Vs that describe data when it accumulates: Volume, obviously, Velocity of the accumulation, Variety of data storage format (structured, semi- and quasi-structured), its objective accuracy or Veracity, its use for Visualization (in Business Intelligence) and its concomitant Value.)
Supplemental:
As semeioticians have noted, the power of symbols lies in their disconnection from reality. (We, humans with symbolic brains, give these tokens their meanings. This is why they can and do change over time.)


Edit: typo

Gaming engine is just marketing for low latency. So the screen has low latency between receiving the input and displaying it on the screen. This cuts down on some of the internal processing like smoothing or frame generation, and is a setting you usually have to turn on on the TV.

Uh, so there's very little lag between when a frame is rendered and then displayed? That is NOT an engine! That's false advertising, and incredibly stupid!

I am very confused. Do you have some kind of point with all this, or is it all just mental mastrubation?

edit. And just to remind you, because you seem to have missed it, in your own definition of gamut, the first point you have there is:

"1 the complete range or scope of something: [...]"

so the complete range of color being shown on a digital output is baked into your own dictionary quote. If you do not have anything productive to add, then that is that. But do feel free to indulge in some more navel-gazing
