The problem is not that tft's are bad, but that there are three diffent kinds of tft's, depending on the panel.

• TN, the cheapest, is also the fastest to redraw the screen. It's the typical gamer tft that you find in every store. Its most important weakness is its vertical viewing angle. Stand or sit in front of it, mopve you head up and down by a few inches and you'll see the colours change. Because you'll never know what a colour really looks like, this kind of monitor is not ok for colour-critical work (which is a personal choice you make, not an obligation for making good photographs).
• IPS has much better viewing angles and is more colour-consistent. But it is slower than TH and often shows shadow-trailing and ghost effects when objects are moving fast on the screen, like in games. It's already much better with the H-IPS panels like the new macs, but still not comparable for gamers.
• MVA, and the most used variant S-PVA  have also better viewing angles and the more expensive ones use 10bit dithering to get better colour transition. They tend to be faster than IPS.

S-PVA and H-IPS are more expensive than TN and, apart from the Apple screens, you usually have to order them from more specialised shops. They can (not all do!) show all colours of Adobe RGB.
TN gamers panels, and most CRT (excepting Barco etc) hardly cover s-RGB.

There are no Borg. All resistance is fertile.
