True. Monitors as a rule suck royally. This list tends to take its monitors
more seriously, which is a good thing.

This is nonsense. Today’s printers easily exceed sRGB. Okay, today’s pro-grade
printers such as made by Epson and Canon and such. But, that said, Smuggie is
right for the vast majority of his customers. sRGB is safest for displaying and
printing images where such esoterica is color management might’s well be in a
black hole.
