Building on the success of its award-winning electron monitor series, LaCie announced today the electron22blue monitor, a high-performance 22-inch monitor targeted for demanding graphics applications.
Featuring a 100% flat 22-inch aperture grille tube, the electron22blue produces a sharp, bright picture, with vivid, accurate colors and zero geometrical distortion. Undesirable reflection and shadow are reduced to almost nothing by the addition of LaCie's color-enhancing hood.
The flatness of the electron22blue's screen reduces eyestrain and light reflection. It also eliminates the geometric distortion created by the rounded shape of standard tubes. As a result, the image viewers see on a flat screen what they print on a flat paper. The unique electron22 dark blue frame improves the picture contrast and helps the eyes to focus on the screen.
With a maximum resolution of 1800x1440 pixels and a flicker-free refresh rate of 80Hz, the LaCie electron22blue excels in all of the primary measures of image quality. Users can also select a resolution of 1600x1200 pixels for mainstream applications.
By including a USB Hub with 5 USB connectors, the LaCie's new electron22blue monitor takes the USB standard to a new level of versatility.
Features:
- Extra wide 22-inch tube, 20-inch diagonal viewing area
- Flat aperture grille for zero geometrical distortion
- Unique dark bluecasing with color-enhancing blue hood
- Resolution of up to 1800x1440
- USB ready with a total of 5 USB ports
The electron22blue is available now priced at US$1399. In addition, the company is offering an 8MB graphics card OEM'd by IXMicro as an optional add-on for the monitor. Other options include: Colortron II colorimeter and the LaCie USB blue eye hardware calibrator, which will be available for Macintosh users by September 1999.
