Aren't apple displays TN?
Airs / Older models use TN. Their new stuff is IPS. Apple's monitors have AMAZING color accuracy when calibrated. I will challenge this against almost any monitor. They have a very rich display
Are they new imacs and pros ? It just sounds like the calibration is off or the color profile is not correct. Depends on the way they are printing them. etc etc.
Well, the way I think of it...the needs really aren't that similar (but the end product is probably similar for either use).From my limited experience there isn't much difference building an awesome gaming machine and a photo/video editing machine.
For gaming, you need something that can quickly process and display a constant stream of information. You need the display be able to keep up with the constantly changing game (or whatever) that is on the screen. I believe this is where you want a high end video card.
Photo editing, on the other hand, isn't about a rapidly changing display. Sure, you don't want a display lag when making changes to your image, but it's not a constant, ongoing stream of changes. And before a few years ago, photo editing didn't really tax the video card at all. The latest versions of Photoshop have started to use the RAM available in the video card, but that may only be for things like smooth transitions when zooming in or out.
For photo editing, the CPU and the RAM are much more important than the video card....but with gaming, the video card is a big piece of the puzzle.

Most of Apple's displays use panels that you can find in displays from other manufacturers.
