The TN panel, especially the black level, was crap compared to modern IPS let alone OLED LCDs, but was decent enough that SGI guaranteed a reference color garmut, with compensation algorithms over the panel's lifetime. I bought mine towards the end of the product's lifecycle at a good price with converter included, and ran it with high-end (at the time) nvidia cards on Linux without problem.
