Weaknesses: Pathetic color control for a "reference" monitor. Even with the LaCie blue eye calibrator shows obvious color impurities across screen face.
Summary: If you just want a monitor that's big and has fantastic resolution, this is pretty much awesome. However, if you plan to use this for color accurate work... think again. This is the FOURTH LaCie monitor I"ve bought, and now the last. Each monitor has experienced a color shift over time. The first one took a year or two before it got so fuzzy it was unusable for anything. Warranty replaced it. Then the next one I bought began to show a STRONG color shift: heavy on the blue/green on one side and heavy on the magenta on the other. Manual controls couldn't fix it. Blue Eye controls don't fix it (this reads ony the center of the monitor). Nothing fixed. it. Other friends have had similar problems too. Seems to be a chronic problem with these monitors. And no, it's not environmental interference. Finally, I bought a 22blue IV thinking it was just time for a new monitor. Wrong. This started showing its "true colors" within a week. Same color shift across the screen. Same attempts to fix it: same NO LUCK. I returned it yesterday and despite taking a hit on shipping to/from vendor, it just wasn't worth having. Just not acceptable for someone needing and expecting precise colors.
