14 DAY TRIAL // If your job involves working a lot with Photoshop, Quark, and other similar software, then the most important thing for you is to get exactly what you see, or to see what you get. Either way, if you are designing something that will end up on a building, your 2-pixel mistake might end-up being 3 feet tall on the side of that building, and your boss will hate that.
This is why LaCie has made a 26-inch wide-screen LCD monitor whose H-IPS A-TW POL panel covers 98.5% of Iso Coated and 95% of AdobeRBG gamut. The panel provides "12-bit gamma correction with 16-bit calculation precision" along with a "ColorKeeper backlight stabilizer" which analyses and stabilizes the output of the backlight over time, and also reduces warm-up time.
Although marketed as a 26-inch monitor, it actually has 25.5 inches in diagonal, in a 16:10 form factor, with a 1920x1200 maximum resolution. It also features a 91% Gamma Correction, 12-bit LUT and 16-bit processing, a 400cd/m2 luminance level with a staggering 800:1 contrast ratio and a 16ms response time (8ms GTG). One of the good things about these types of products is that the greater the performance level, the more accessories they add to the bundle, this monitor having the LaCie blue eye pro calibration software and LaCie blue eyes colorimeter.
Daniel Mayer, LaCie Color Business Unit Manager said: "Its wide gamut and uniform and stabilized panel ensures that what you see is what you get. If you edit projects with a calibrated LaCie 526 Monitor, you can trust that the end result will be accurate."
