The 21AXP22 has the same wide gamut phosphors with that very greenish green. While red and blue here in the PAL countries look the same, the green of the PAL sets looks more yellow-green than green. I didn't noticed that our green is yellow-green before I got the ctc-5. The photo here shows the difference between both greens. I can see the difference on my LCD-TFT display and hope you can see it too on your display. But the green of the 21AXP22 looks more saturated than displayed here in the photo.
Another observation I made was that the 21AXP22 shows green-blue colors which weren't displayed on a PAL color tv set. On a PAL set these colors were grey. These green-blue colors are not a result of a hue failure, they are really true. But the PAL sets couldn't really display them.
