1. Introduction to Your LaCie 500 Series LCD Monitor

Thank you for purchasing the LaCie 500 Series LCD Monitor. Designed for serious graphics professionals, this advanced line of LCD monitors features 12-bit gamma correction to meet the most stringent demands for color accuracy and control.

1.1. 500 Series LCD Monitor Features

❖❖ Large 25.5’’ diagonal size and wide 16:10 format enhances productivity by reducing the need for scrolling through docu- ments and switching windows. The wide aspect ratio allows full 1:1 scale display of two full pages with additional space for application palettes and toolbars.

❖❖ High 1920x1200 resolution and HDCP Content Protection technology is ideal for high resolution graphics and video applications.

❖❖ Wide-GamutH-IPS POL panel technology offers an industry-leading 102% NTSC Gamut that allows the LaCie 500 series monitors to display a wide range of vibrant colors previously unattainable by LCD monitors. When used in a color-managed environ- ment, this offers the benefit of an even closer match between captured, displayed, and printed colors. This technology offers an excel- lent balance between contrast (1000:1), brightness (320 cd/m2 typ.), and expansive viewing angles of 178°.

❖❖ Improved uniformity: Each panel is individually tested at the factory and corrected to ensure that brightness and chromaticity are uniform across the screen.

❖❖ ColorKeeper Backlight Stabilizer: The LaCie 526 monitor has an embedded sensor that analyzes the brightness and chroma- ticity of its backlight in real time. A feedback mechanism then uses this information to continuously adjust the backlight and panel to ensure stable monitor brightness and color.

❖❖ 12-bit Gamma Correction: The embedded Integrated Circuit enables a genuine hardware calibration of the monitor. The 12-bit Gamma Correction tables (16 bits precision) allow an optimal display of color gradients.

❖❖ Ergonomic stand enables height swivel tilt and pivot adjustments.

❖❖ VESA-100 interface: The Monitor can be connected to any VESA 100 compatible attachment.

❖❖ Portability handle and quick-release stand make your LaCie 500 Series Monitor easy to carry.
