NEC Display Solutions adds 21-inch, LED-backlit 5 megapixel grayscale display to multisync MD series lineup

CHICAGO – April 3, 2013 NEC Display Solutions of America, a leading provider of commercial LCD display and projector solutions, announced today the MultiSync® MD211G5 medical-grade diagnostic display and several other medical-related products.

Ideal for high resolution medical imaging, the MD211G5, a 21.3-inch LED-backlit IPS diagnostic display, offers out-of-the-box factory DICOM calibration and uniformity control for consistent imaging across the entire screen. Featuring a contrast ratio of 1200:1 and a calibrated brightness of 500 cd/m2, this IPS screen delivers clear, accurate images.

The integrated front sensor constantly monitors and adjusts brightness to maintain the factory DICOM GSDF calibration. The included GammaCompMD™ QA software performs routine display configuration and ensures consistent image quality. Additionally, the optional GammaCompMD QA Server provides computer networks with centralized control and management of multiple display systems, ideal for large healthcare organizations with multiple campuses.

“The MD211G5 display was built for the demanding high-resolution requirements of hospitals, doctors’ offices, and other healthcare facilities,” said Art Marshall, Product Manager for Professional Desktop and Medical Displays at NEC Display Solutions. “This 5-megapixel model features a lower-power LED backlight and a new DisplayPort input for compatibility with most modern video cards.”

A partial list of features in the MultiSync MD211G5 follows:

  • 21.3-inch SA-SFT IPS panel
  • Factory calibrated to the DICOM grayscale function for luminance
  • 2048 x 2560 native resolution
  • 1200:1 contrast ratio
  • 1200 cd/m² maximum and 500 cd/m² calibrated brightness
  • Uniformity control, which provides accurate imaging across the screen
  • Built-in ambient light sensor, which automatically adjusts the display’s brightness based on existing lighting conditions, reducing energy consumption
  • 11.9-bit internal lookup table (LUT) with 1024 levels of gray out of 12,277
