LACIE'S 324 DISPLAY BENEFITS FROM THE COMPANY'S LONG HISTORY WITH STILL PHOTOGRAPHERS.
LaCie has a long and proud history with computer users, and rightfully so. Their products - in particular their hard drives, of which I own three - are rugged, attractive and reliable. The assignment for this review was my first experience with a LaCie display, and I'm happy to report that the same kudos apply here as well.
The monitor in question is the LaCie 324 LCD, a 24"-wide gamut display ideally suited for budget-minded producers, especially in small rigs where dual monitors might be cost or space prohibitive. That's because the 324 goes beyond simply being a computer display - it also features two HDMI ports for viewing your HD footage (all the way up to 1 080p) on a wide 16:10 format in up to 1920x1200 resolution with beautiful color reproduction. The 324's 10-bit gamma correction assures smooth color grathents and an on-screen menu provides quick access to a variety of other options as well, including picture-in-picture from any input.
The display itself is gorgeous, although not an eye-popping difference from the Apple display I replaced...
