Guy, that is an excellent point that many people forget about. A few years ago I replaced a basic Dell TN panel with a HP Pro monitor that had IPS glass and I definitely noticed a difference. Since then I took that IPS monitor to my office and now I am viewing images at home on my 5k 27" iMac which is also wonderful!

My desktop PC has an Asus 24 inch IPS 10 bit monitor hung off it. Nice.

The little notebook I am using now, for emails and some forum fiddling, has a cheapo Philips 19 inch monitor that actually must be some simple version of IPS as it calibrates to very near 100% sRGB colour gamut display.

The notebook screen itself and the screens on the other notebooks  and netbooks in the house only calibrate to about a bit above 60% of the sRGB colour gamut, those TN panels are way behind IPS in colour ability and your head must be locked in one position as the colour and contrast varies as you move your head around.

On TN screens I used to see rather large differences between all the jpeg possibilities from the camera, then I got the IPS screen and those differences are now not so great, much more subtle and harder to choose between jpeg settings.

Regards.... Guy
