    3. Monitor Operation
    This  section  describes  how  to  use  the  buttons  on  the  front  of 
    the monitor to control all of the monitor’s functions through the 
    On  Screen  Display  (OSD).    Please  note  that  the  LaCie  730  of-
    fers no On-Screen Menu. The Color and Power buttons function 
    the same way as on the LaCie 720/724. The Up/Down buttons 
    increase  and  decrease  overall  monitor  brightness.  Other  color 
    parameters such as white point and gamma can be adjusted by 
    using LaCie’s blue eye pro calibration tool.
    Button Functions3.1.

    Press  the  Color  button  continuously  to  cycle  through  the  preset 
    color modes.

    Calibration

    LaCie blue eye pro performs hardware calibration on your 
    monitor.  Once  you  have  calibrated  your  monitor,  it  is 
    recommended  to  avoid  exiting  this  mode  (for  example  by 
    manually shifting to another monitor color mode) as it en -
    dangers the accuracy of displayed colors.
