While LaCie is better-known for its various storage solutions (either NAS or external/portable drives), the company also produces other computer peripherals as well, the latest such device to arrive on the market being the LaCie 324i PC monitor, that features a 10-bit P-IPS LCD panel and is designed for prepress, illustration, web design, and photographic workflows.

The LaCie 324i P-IPS panel offers a realistic presentation without discoloration or inconvenient pattern distortions, the color being rated at 102% NTSC and 98% Adobe RGB.

Furthermore, the monitor offers 178-degree viewing angles, while its anti-glare panel guarantees that you will not have to worry about unwanted reflections often found on glossy panels.

LaCie's monitor provides 24 inches of usable workspace and a native 1920x1200 resolution, as well as the possibility to easily change from Landscape to Portrait mode.

That's possible with the help of the multifunction stand that glides effortlessly when raising, lowering, swiveling, tilting, or pivoting the display.

Plus, in addition to its 1000:1 contrast ratio and backlight stabilization – for the brightest whites and darkest blacks – the LaCie 324i can be further enhanced with the optional LaCie blue eye calibration tool.

The LaCie 324i has four display and video inputs, making it compatible with most computers and video devices, namely DisplayPort, DVI-D, HDMI and component video sources.

The 324i also has three USB 2.0 ports for a convenient USB hub to your computer, with all cables being neatly arranged in the 324i's cable manager.

The LaCie 324i P-IPS LCD Monitor is available at the suggested retail price of $1,249.99, which, despite not being a very small sum, is a lot more affordable than some of the other such professional monitors we've come across over time.
