LCD ?
Sorry, the back-light colorimetry is always the culprit. Fakes
the continuous shaped-spectra of CRT emission. The fakes are
getting better, but still not good enough for accurate color-matching.
Plus LCD color bit-depth has still not attained 8-bits per primary (or
complement). Convenient and great for uses where there is no need
for critical color-rendition. For example:- LCDs are inexpensive and
space-efficient as the auxiliary monitors for the workspace displays
in a video-editing suite, with the final monitor being CRT with NTSC
or PAL color-primaries.
