I guess it depends on what your needs are. For me the Artisan still is the display to beat.
I agree that S-IPS is a big step in the right direction and if the display is primarily intended for an operator, then viewing angle it's not really a deal breaker anymore. But I still move my head to place it directly over the area I am checking, if it is critical. Just to be sure.
My main beef with LCD screens is that they still don't match the contrast ratio of a CRT and you have to drop a truck load of money to get one that covers a wide color gamut.
We've made big strides in this area, but I still encounter situations where I am performing a very subtle color correction and while the numbers are changing on the slider, the change is not showing up visually, because the screen is not capable of reproducing such a subtle adjustment. Shadow detail is also inferior. Among the displays that we tested there was an EIZO that was capable of displaying noticeably more detail in the blacks than all the other screens, but the viewing angle was so narrow that it nullified any advantage it may have had. Obviously this was not a S-IPS panel.
In my experience all of this is less of an issue with print work, though. For such work I think the high-end displays are working well.
