LaCie 700 Series LCD Monitor Features
1.1.
Environment-friendly LED-backlit wide-gamut LCD panel technology
✦
offers industry-leading CIE 1976 125% NTSC and 123%
Adobe RGB Gamuts (116%/114% on LaCie 720)* that allow the LaCie 700 Series monitors to display a larger range of vibrant colors,
previously unattainable by LCD monitors. When used in a color-managed environment, this enables a lossless workflow and offers the
benefit of an even closer match between captured, displayed and printed colors. PVA LCD Panel technology offers an excellent bal-
ance between 1000:1 contrast (600:1 for the LaCie 720) and 250 cd/m2 brightness (200 cd/m2 for the LaCie 730) and provides
expansive viewing angles of 178°.
14-bit Gamma Correction
✦
: An integrated circuit containing 14-bit color correction tables removes banding and offers subtle rendi-
tions of gradients. This is especially beneficial when displaying photographs containing delicate shades of color. These color correction
tables can be accessed and programmed by the LaCie blue eye pro software, enabling true hardware calibration of the display to any
gamma, white point, and brightness requested by the user.
ColorKeeper Backlight Stabilizer
✦
: The LaCie 700 Series monitor uses a sensor that analyzes in real time the brightness and chroma-
ticity of its LED backlight. A feedback mechanism then uses this information to continuously adjust the LED backlight and panel behavior
to ensure monitor brightness and color stay stable through time.
User-friendly front panel
✦
offers easy access to Adobe RGB, sRGB and customer-defined color modes.
Large diagonal sizes
✦
(30’’, 24’’ and 20’’) and high resolutions—2560x1600 (30”), 1920x1200 (24”) and 1600x1200 (20”)—ide-
al for graphics-intensive applications.
Wide format
✦
(LaCie 724 and 730) enhances productivity by reducing the need for scrolling through documents and switching win-
dows, and allows full 1:1 scale display of 2 full pages with additional space for application palettes and toolbars.
Embedded USB hub
✦
allows easy connection of external peripherals.
Ergonomic stand
✦
enabling height, swivel and tilt adjustments. In conjunction with the LaCie 720’s mechanical pivot monitor stand
adjustment, Pivot Pro software for Windows software allows you to effectively rotate the desktop and work in landscape mode. (On Mac
OS X, landscape mode is available only on certain graphics boards, please refer to Apple’s website for more information.)
VESA-100 and 200 interfaces
✦
: The LaCie 700 Series monitors can be attached to VESA-100 (LaCie 720) and VESA-200 (LaCie
724 and 730) compatible attachments.
Available options:
LaCie blue eye pro Proof Edition
✦
: This new version of LaCie’s calibration and ICC profiling package has been specially optimized
for the requirements of soft proofing standards. In conjunction with the LaCie blue eye colorimeter, the included blue eye pro software
provides automatic, easy-to-use, professional-grade hardware calibration and ICC profiling of LaCie 700 Series monitors and includes
a complete set of tools that deliver the best of color-management. Please go to

for a full description of these features.
Monitor easyHood
✦
: The black, anti-reflective velvet material that lines the easyHood reduces ambient light glare and ensures docu-
ment colors are accurately seen by the user. The easyHood’s retractable hook makes it easy to attach the optional LaCie blue eye
colorimeter when needed, and once calibration has been completed, the hook discretely retracts into the hood. The easyHood’s sturdy,
one-piece hinged design ensures a stable and easy fit on the monitor.
