I just recieved the 22" Lacie monitor, and I am impressed! I haven't made any adjustments, except resolution, and out of the box it's fantastic. Clear, crisp, great color. Photos are perfect at 100%. With my old monitor, quality would deteriorate at 100%.

I am a happy camper.

I do have one question though. Running this higher resolution, aol, and this site are kinda small. Is there any solution other than changing the resolution back and forth?

Thanks,

Sam

Ship me your monitor and I'll ship you a 17" trinitron.

Congrats on the new monitor! I love my LaCie 22". Unfortunetly I don't know of a way to improve sites that look tiny at high screen sizes.

Me neither, I guess I've become used to it.

Not sure I understand the problem Sam.

What is the resolution of your screen? Mine is 1900x1200 and the images and browser pics are just fine. Sometimes with higher resolution monitors you need to change the type sizes in your browser windows.... Firefoxx VIEW >TEXT SIZE > increase or decrease...

Is it really that outstanding of a monitor? I am in the market to get a large monitor and don't want to have to spend the money again (at least for a while)

I think it is. My LaCie is used at work. Even though we got the LaCie based on its reputation as an outstanding Photoshop monitor, I've found it to be a great monitor for CAD, graphic design, programming and a million other things.

Before the LaCie I was using a Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 19". Before the Mitsu I had been using any number of generic Trinitrons (Dell, Gateway, etc...) The difference between the Mitsu and the stuff I was using before was amazing. Razor sharp, great color and a rock solid picture. The LaCie is just as sharp and has the same solid picture as the Mitsu, but its got even better color. In addition the LaCie probably weighs less than the Mitsu, and it isn't as deep as the Mitsu. That being said, it's still a CRT. It's still big and heavy and it sucks power.

If you look at picture quality, construction, features (I love the built-in USB hub) and price, I think it's pretty tough to beat... provided you can deal with the size, weight and power consumption of a CRT.

You can see the difference immediatly. I think it's worth it.

Resolution is 1920 X 1440. This site isn't too bad. I'll poke around aol and see if I can increase the size of anything. Ok I was just able to increase some font size and icon size. I will play around with it some more later. Thanks
