Thanks for the research. You might be right. I had CRTs and plasma side-by-side and then I had plasma and IPS side-by-side. Plasma and CRTs looked about the same to me, while IPS looked a bit worse, but that might be because of analog vs. digial inputs and calibrations. The CRTs had an auto-calibration function (Sony G520), but other than that I never did a color calibration on any of them.
I wouldn't be surprised at all if the particular IPS panels you looked at were worse, but we can do better on displays that try, especially these days.
Part of the issue is that so many things are calibrated for sRGB and that is a pretty small gamut.
