LaCie has announced a new line of 700 series of LCD monitors for creative professionals who need better color accuracy. The 700 series includes the 20-inch LaCie 720, 24-inch LaCie 724, and the 30-inch LaCie 730.

This new LCD line was designed to display images as close to real life as possible. That means that your HDR images, the result of anything that came from Photokina, and anything viewed in Photosynth should be extremely realistic.

Each LCD in the 700 series had an RGB-LED backlight and ultra-wide gamuts to decrease the need for mapping. The LaCie 724 and 730 monitors feature a 16:10 wide-screen format (vs a 16:9 format); the 720 has a 4:3 aspect ratio. Complete with a USB 2.0 hub, the monitors also come with a hood and optional calibration software and color meter.

The LaCie 720, 724, and 730 monitors are available on the LaCie website and retail, respectively, for $1599, $2299, and $4599.
