8-bit sRGB IPS > 8bit AdobeRGB IPS
The rest can be left to calibration and profiling, which must be done for any display if you remotely care about color accuracy.

aside from the fact that i never said anything about sRGB vs. AdobeRGB (which is a pointless debate anyway) you fail to point out anything even remotely disputing my claim.
the only thing you bring up is some review of a iMac which fails to include even a single monitor of the two best monitor brands: EIZO and NEC. and even there the iMac display isn't exactly shining. i'm constantly switching between a high grade EIZO and a 27" iMac (2010 model) and the iMac isn't even remotely close to the quality of the EIZO.

+1, they're just too overpriced for their worth. those are professional equipments though.

"price": 2560-wide 27-inch/30-inch. In this class anything less than 1000 is afforable.
"limited color gamut": sRGB is good. The current trend of forcing ultra wide gamut upon 8-bit panels is marketing BS designed to burn retinas.
"mediocre color accuracy especially under different viewing angles and crappy viewing angles": In the review it is stated that it performs like Cinema Displays. Which is 999.

- considering you can get the same hardware for 900 bucks (without the monitor) and the iMac goes for 2000 the display in the iMac costs you over 1000 - so i take it you agree that it's rather expensive? not to mention that you can't keep your monitor if you change hardware.
- 8bit sRGB is perfectly fine - 10bit sRGB is just better ;) - and it's again beside the point. the gamut of the mac displays are just noticeable worse than what i see on my EIZO - and they are both calibrated.
- so because the apple iMac display performs roughly as bad as the current apple Cinema Display your conclusion is that it must be of incredible quality. nice logic!
the displays apple builds into their iMacs aren't bad. they are perfectly in the usable range. they aren't great either though - so you are lying to yourself if you buy a iMac for it's great display.

shut this thread, CRT all the way! wooooooooooo!
the argument is just going in circles...
bloody000: iMac is for picture quality
bluebart: i've seen better
bloody000: the iMac still is the better buy all in all
bluebart: i've seen better for the same price
bloody000: the iMac has everything about picture quality, other brands are just exaggerating
bluebart: i've seen better with real specs
so stop it, both costs a grand, i`d rather grab a u2711 for 800$ and be done with it. bloody000's own link backfired imho u2711>iMac for less the price as well.

With the default keyboard and mouse there aren't even wires except the power cord, later this year even iOS devices can be sync wirelessly(officially anyway). Not some HAF 932 abomination with puke green CCFL.

It looks like shit, because that white colour makes it look like my fridge, my washing machine and all other appliances.
