speedlever: The colors on this my current VP930b (8-bit) are worlds better than my old 710T (6-bit), but I couldn't tell you if it's because of 8-bit vs 6-bit, better contrast, or just a plain old newer panel. The colors seem more what they were intended to be. And maybe 6-bit dithering is much better now. I wish I could tell you why for sure. My hunch is: the colors feel more alive because of the high contrast. The colors look more what they were intended to with the 8-bit. So with the TN you'd get less contrast plus 6-bit, and with the VA you'd get the highest contrast and 8-bit.
I did my best to make some comparison photos, but this is only as I remember it. (Samsung 710T vs. ViewSonic VP930b) B-TN II is 6-bit, P-MVA is 8-bit. The second picture actually shows the TN displaying a more saturated picture, but as you can see the colors are off from what they are supposed to be.

The TN had a bad problem displaying subtle transitions in the sky, which is hard to simulate using Photoshop. However, the VX922 TN LCD had just as accurate colors as the VP930b as measured by a calibrator, according to flatpanels.dk and BeHardware, so who knows. I'm sure the dithering gets better with each new panel.
