Macbook Pro Screen Suitable for Color(Photo) SIPS?

[sukanas]

i was wondering if the 15" screens had the simliar IPS panel compared to the 24" imacs

would there be a gradient wash vertical/horizontal due to the fact that its a laptop?

No. All laptops have TN panels.

all Apple laptops, specifically.

not all laptops have TN.

Are you suggesting there are currently made laptops with 8-bit panels? I knew there used to be (and cost an arm and a leg) but I thought the manufacturers stopped making 8-bits smaller than 20".

The 15" Thinkpad T-series uses an S-IPS panel.

For that matter, all high resolution, T, X, Z, R, W are 8-bit with S-IPS or PVA. Also the X6x tablet XGA is MVA

Hmm. Looks like Apple has some catching up to do (again).

yep.

i believe the thinkpad ips panels are becoming increasingly hard to find however. Most of them are PVA now.

that would mean aperture wouldnt be so suitable in terms of color accuracy and etc.. right?
or is it really not a big deal
or is it just up to me, lol

PVA is still a huge load better than the cardboard panels Apple's using.
