LaCie 324i Shoves Premium IPS Tech Into a 24-inch Shell

LaCie, known for producing extremely well-designed PC accessories, also produces high-end displays suitable for the design of said products. The new 324i is their latest attempt, and it packs a new P-IPS, or Premium IPS, panel to achieve its high-gamut display.

Of course, demanding professionals demand…demanding specs, and the 324i seems to deliver them.  It has a comfortably expensive pricetag to justify it, though, at $1,249. That much cash nets you some additional features most displays can only dream about, including just about every connector under the sun and an advance care warranty that ships a new display if a customer needs to make a warranty claim in order to minimize downtime.

For an additional fee, the 324i can be ordered with a blue hood as well as colorimeter. All versions will be available early next month.
