All laptop manufacturers stopped using high-quality LCD panels and switched to selling overpriced TN-film based junk

It seems so: http://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/multi_page.asp?cid=7-9320-9...

We know of no IPS screens in current-model laptops, ThinkPads or otherwise, and it's a shame, because our T60's FlexView display has some killer attributes.

But that is a technology-based comparison, rather than a performance-based comparison. There are no intrinsic reasons OHV engines can't outperform OHC (overhead cam) engines; spray-on fireproofing can't outperform concrete fireproofing; or TN panels can't outperform IPS/PVA/MVA.

My latest Thinkpad took away true-color screen

Have you looked at the (TN-paneled) ThinkPad W700? http://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/multi_page.asp?cid=7-9320-9...

If you yearn for a laptop display that rises above acceptable, one whose colour accuracy matches a good desktop display, there's only one in this test: the ThinkPad W700. In fact, for us, it could just about replace a desktop display for colour critical work and even soft proofing for print in Photoshop
