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-Gamut H-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.
