That's exactly the reason. In my searching for a solution, I ran across a forum of people discussing that very cause.

I am not finding any credibility in this data for there are too much unanswered ambiguity in the data.

Where did measurement taken place, underneath TFT layer or on top of TFT layer?
Are there additional adjustment being made at TFT layer to keep RGB emission uniform?
How many measurements were taken?
Were there many different brands and models of monitors used in the measurement?

Given diverse product choices out there, one should expect data to fluctuate since not all monitors produce same results, but these measurements are very uniform.
I see almost no fluctuation around most data points, and can only assume this is due to high lack of diversity of monitors that were being measured.

There are several other methods to achieve uniform RGB emission and many different types of phosphor. This data is too uniform and show lack of diversity in the measurement.

I been through several monitors in the past as well. Cheap monitors tends to have poor quality components with failures occuring at places you don't expect to happen, and color output is just shit even when comparing it to same priced monitor from reputable brands with near identical specs. The monitors from reputable brands even accepted the inputs that cheap monitor failed to accept and display even though it was near identifcal specs with same price; which was difference between another spending or not spending hundreds of dollar for new monitor that can accept new input. I am haven't bought any low cost monitor since my transition to HDMI and LED backlit monitor. I stick to reputable brand with good specs for cheap monitors aren't worth it.

This conversation started out as why pay more for lower spec TN panel when better value is achieved by getting IPS panel which can either be same or cost little bit more for better color ouput. But you somehow manage to divert the topic and go nuts over something that have been solved for several decades with only supporting data being cheap monitors sucks, of course they suck.

I think this discussion should be first and foremost about how much overprice we pay for a product when it has the dell, sony etc. logo on it, not to mention the eaten apple.

150$ for a panel is perfectly reasonable, when you have no brand name to worry about. 300$ for the same panel with a different branding is perfectly normal, this gives you better customer service and at least in my country it mandates the manufacturer to take care of service&warranty issues - not the seller.
