LaCie 324i

For about $1,150, the LaCie 324i offers performance and ergonomic design you'd expect from a professional monitor. It includes sRGB and Adobe RGB presets, a black-level control, and color temperature, RGB, and gamma options. The 10-bit panel exhibited...

The LaCie 324i provides accurate color, deep blacks, and a host of ergonomic options.

The LaCie 324i takes some tweaking to minimize its green push. Also, for its price and size it offers less value than other monitors in its class.

The LaCie 324i is a decently priced pro monitor that performs well but unfortunately can't compete in bang-for-buck terms with offerings from Dell and NEC.

LaCie 324 LCD Monitor

The high price will scare away most users, but the exceptional performance and video-friendly features could be a winning combination for professionals and enthusiasts.

Exceptional video performance; 1080p and HDCP compatible; Faroudja DCDi processor; 10-bit gamma correction; 178-degree viewing angle; four video inputs; touch-sensitive controls

Too expensive for most users; some may prefer a larger monitor for the 1,920x1,200 resolution

Double your display real estate by adding a second monitor. It's a snap: Here's how

LaCie 324 LCD Monitor (First Look Review)

High-quality, moderately priced display also provides precise color calibration.

LaCie is noted for its high-quality displays, and the recently introduced LaCie 324 LCD monitor is no exception. A 24", wide-gamut, 16:10 LCD monitor based on a S-PVA panel, the LaCie 324 features an embedded 10-bit gamma correction mechanism that...

Review: LaCie 324 LCD

The LaCie 324 LCD monitor is a 24-inch display targeted at creative pros who demand a large color gamut and color accuracy; but with two HDMI inputs for consumer entertainment electronics and support for picture-in-picture technology, the monitor aims...

Excellent viewing angle ; Two HDMI ports for attaching home entertainment devices

Quirky menu system

The display setup was simple; the 324 comes fully assembled with one DVI port, and when we connected it to our Mac Pro using the included DVI cable, the display was recognized correctly and displayed its native 1,920-by-1,200-pixel resolution...

Best High-End Image Monitor

I bought this monitor almost a year ago for high-end image development using Adobe Photoshop CS5. I also bought it for engineering work using AutoCAD. Other than a sensitive on/off switch, I have had nothing but great experience with this monitor. I...

Poor Quality

As a professional Graphic Designer I have always been impressed with the quality of Lacie monitors. I bought the Lacie 324 and paid over a grand expecting a high quality image display. There were many other great monitors out there for half or less the...

LaCie 324i monitor

I purchased the LaCie 324i monitor in late 2010, and it was a disaster in that it would not consistently power up. After many e-mail exchanges with company technicians, who provided sometimes absurd suggestions like "move the monitor to another...

Lacie 24" 324 Widescreen Analog/Digital LCD Monitor with Software and Hood, Black

This monitor is a good average quality monitor for everyday use. However, it is marketed at the professional color market, and is priced that way to boot.

LACIE 24IN WS LCD 1920X1200 1000:1

I did not buy the LaCie calibrator, which works just on the LaCie, but instead bought an X-rite Eye-One display 2. The X-rite will calibrate all monitors, not just LaCie, so I could use it for my laptop also.

Very quick setup. Crisp, clear image, even in a room with high ambient light

None so far
