NEC  Display Solutions of America, a leading provider of commercial  LCD  display and projector solutions, announced today the MultiSync® MDC212C2 monitor,  a clinical review display with a built-in calibration timer so technicians can  schedule calibrations of displays during off hours.

The 2-megapixel 21.3-inch color display  includes a front sensor to maintain calibrated brightness, elevating the level  of trust that medical imaging personnel have in the display’s performance.  It also includes a human sensor that turns  off the LCD screen when a radiologist leaves a desk, saving power and extending  the life of the display.

With its self-calibration capability,  the MDC212C2 display does not require a computer, software nor a person to  handle calibration.  It completes the job  itself at a time that is convenient for radiologists. 

“The MDC212C2 display makes life easier  for radiology and IT departments alike,” said Art Marshall, Senior Product Manager for Professional Desktop and Medical  Displays at NEC Display Solutions.  “For  IT, this is significant because there is no longer a need to leave computers on  all night, or worry about calibration being interrupted by routine maintenance  tasks.  Radiology techs also benefit,  though, because they don’t have to take time out of their busy days to perform  this function, leaving them with more time to do their reads.”

The desktop display also is built for  24 x 7 usage, so it can be deployed at a nurse’s station.  It features a conventional format 4:3 aspect  ratio and 1,600 x 1,200-resolution in an IPS panel that covers 97.9 percent of the  sRGB color space. 

Other features of the MDC212C2  include:

• Professional-grade backlight technologies, which help deliver       a long display life
• 440 cd/m2 maximum brightness, 180 cd/m2       calibrated

• Quick QA function for checking DICOM  conformance
• Black level control to manage contrast ratio  (1500:1)

• Digital Uniformity Correction to ensure consistent color and       brightness over the entire screen area
• Internal 14-bit 3D programmable lookup tables (LUTs)

• Multiple  connectivity options, including DisplayPort 1.2, DVI and VGA
• Built-in  3 port USB 3.0 hub, which provides connectivity for the latest devices

• Ergonomic flexibility, including tilt, swivel, height and       pivot between landscape/portrait orientations
• 2W (1W + 1W) business-class speakers
• 4 Year Warranty with 48-hour Advanced Exchange service

The MultiSync MDC212C2 display is pending FDA clearance, ships with a 4-year limited parts and labor  warranty, and will be available in December 2015 at a minimum advertised price  of $1,499.

The  display will be demonstrated today through December 3 in NEC Display Solutions  Booth No. 2955 at RSNA 2015 in  Chicago.
