So the LaCie rep dropped by MassArt today. I got to play with the 21" 321 lcd monitor.
The rep made a huge deal about it being 12-bit color instead of the 8-bit found on the Apple displays.
I understand the value of this when looking at images on screen but it seems to me that the extra 4-bits of info make no difference when you're printing (Epson 9800, 4800) because printers only print in 8-bit.
Therefore, it seems like this is a whole lot of HOOPLA!!!! . . . . . over... uhm... nothing.
What am I missing?
