Lacie 24" 324 monitor

[geotzo]

Since the price fits my budget, I am thinking of getting one I found for a really good price in a local store. I was just wandering though, how good is it in terms of color accuracy, ease of calibration (note I own a eye-one pro bundled with i1 match soft.) and of course uniformity of brightness from corner to corner. The offer comes with hood and calibration software.

Obviusly no one owns the specific monitor, but I will try my luck and see what happens

Hmmmm, he seems like the author bought a display that offers hardware calibration, and didn't buy the software to utilize this feature. I'm not sure whether he's really that smart...

I'd be very careful about trusting a review on the internet. Many "reviewers" just copy the press release, or even get payed to post some pointless chatter.

And even good review sites should be taken with a grain of salt.

Doesn't give much info. Anyway I ve placed my order and it should be here by the end of the week. There are three versions available. One with no software and hood, another with soft. and hood and another with soft, hood and eye-one calibrator. Since I already own an eye-one pro and soft. says it is compatible, I ordered the second solution. I ll be back with more info later this week, if anyone is interested.

Especially Will's. His understanding of color management is piss poor (see his sRGB piece) and he appears to be somewhat a shill for hardware.

Good choice, I suppose you'll be satisfied. This panel seems to be a rebranded Quato IntelliProof 240 LE, and Quatographics is known for making nice displays for color-critical applications.

Thanks for sharing - this is really a very funny article!

Here's probably the best part:

Capturing images in the sRGB color space, then setting Adobe RGB as your working space in Photoshop is a perfect way to properly move small format capture files into Adobe RGB. In fact, it's a better way than shooting in Adobe RGB. Photoshop will place your files data into the Adobe RGB space better than your camera will put the pixels Adobe RGB on-the-fly. This is how we do it here in Crockett Studios when we need to work in the Adobe RGB space using small format digital cameras - we get great color.

And this:

Take a look here, this is the Adobe RGB color space with my Epson 2200 color space nestled inside...
See photo 5
Photo 5

The Adobe RGB space is much larger than my Epson 2200's output space.

Guy can't even read or understand the 3D gamut plots on his site which clearly show a nice big portion of yellows (at this rotation) falling out of gamut. But its "larger"? He's so confused.

I read a magazine review comparing various media players, one of which I had. The reviewer dismissed one of the features on mine, and used it to demote the product. That feature was specifically why I bought it and only goes to show how subjective hardware/software reviews can be, even when done 'well'.

[semillerimages]

yes, online reviews can be very deceiving. I personally wish someone would take up the flag for doing in depth display reviews on a wide variety of hardware so that neophytes like myself and others don't have to dig through tremendous speculation and technical bs to decide what to buy.

It's obvious from posts that I have read on here that EIZO makes the best and is the most expensive, but I personally have my eye on the NEC that has come up in the forums here, although it does not have altogether the best info to make a $1300 decision on...

Reading will go on for me
