Tangential question, but I occasionally do photography at museums, and I plan on scanning artwork from some books, and for both I want to do color correction.
I tried looking into color accurate displays and setting that up a few months back, and after a week or so of research I frankly felt like the more I learned the less I understood, it wasn't helping that apparently(?) the actual hardware, workflow, principals, and even the actual color models used in doing color correction for photography vs video colorists etc is different and resources aimed at one isn't applicable to the other.
I'm wanting to get back into doing research on that again, so help/links apperciated, but more importantly: I'm trying to decide between opening up a laptop I bought on sale (which does NOT have a color accurate display) vs returning it and finding one that does have 100% srgb coverage or others even if it's signficantly more expensive...
....can I just use the current laptop even without the display being color accurate, and do an HDMI out to a seperate color accurate monitor, and just turn on a calibrated color profile when I plug that in when doing color correction? Or does that complicate things on top of everything else to where it's not advisable?
