I remember a while back (OS 10.7; Lion) there was a problem with 6-bit + FRC vs 8-bit displays:

This led me to buy an HP ZR24w 8-bit display for my mac. Is this still an issue? What I'm looking for in a display:

1) Size: around 24", 16:10 ratio
2) IPS - I like the wide viewing angles
3) Matte - can't stand glossy
4) Standard Gamut - sRGB color space; don't want to deal with wide gamut issues/over saturation
5) 8-bit display - I don't really care about this last one, except in the context of the 6-bit + FRC issue.

I can't find a monitor like this, seems my HP ZR24w was it :)
