That's pretty depressing news, since I can't afford any of the few s-ips
models I found for sale.
With so many TN models out there, surely the technology can't be so
horrible?
I have a Spyder monitor calibrator that I currently use on my 4:3 19 inch
Samsung 913N (I assume that this is also a TN panel because it was cheap)
and it does a decent job of getting colours from the monitor, scanner and
printer to match up.
