At the heart of LaCie’s 700 Series Monitors
beats a ground-breaking technology: an
RGB-LED-based backlight unit producing
purer red, green and blue primaries,
resulting in a larger range of vibrant colors
previously unattainable by CCFL-based
LCD monitors. In combination with the deep
black, high contrast and excellent viewing
angles offered by VA LCD technology, this
offers a color experience that is truer to life
than ever before.
Adobe RGB
700 Series
ISO Coated
A critical benefit of RGB-LEDs is the wide
color gamut they deliver. Thanks to this,
the LaCie 700 Series Monitors display up
to 123% of the NTSC gamut, exceeding
Adobe RGB and ISO Coated color spaces.
Colors that you could only imagine now
become fully visible.

Captured Gamut
Monitor Gamut
Narrow Gamut Workflow
Gamut mapping is needed because
the monitor’s gamut is smaller than
the captured gamut.
Wide Gamut: Even the most saturated
colors can be displayed.
Narrow Gamut: Out-of-gamut colors need
to be mapped, resulting in color loss.

Wide Gamut Workflow
The monitor gamut and captured
gamut closely fit together. Virtually
no gamut mapping is needed.
New RGB-LED-Backlit
Technology
Broadest Gamut
Up until now, the monitor has always been
the bottleneck of the professional workflow.
Because its gamut was significantly smaller
than that of professional cameras and
print processes, some captured colors
were impossible to display. These colors
needed to be either ignored or mapped
to a smaller gamut. They could easily be
damaged during the retouching process
because the colors being retouched were
not the original colors. Or worse, they
could be totally lost. Another consequence
of the smaller monitor gamut was the
difficulty of displaying reliable softproofs.
Now, with such a wide monitor gamut,
almost no gamut mapping is needed.
Literally all captured colors can be
displayed and softproofs are closer than
ever to the final printout. For the first
time, the door to a lossless workflow has
been opened.
Lossless Workflow
RGB-LED-backlit technology is more environmentally friendly than
traditional backlights as they contain neither mercury nor halogens.
They also offer a longer lifetime and even consume less power.
