NEC received FDA approval for its 24-inch MultiSync MD242C2 display to be used for clinical diagnostics. The “referral-grade” monitor features a resolution of 1920 x 1200, an IPS screen, pre-calibration for DICOM grayscale, and a front sensor for continuous monitoring and adjustment of brightness.
The monitor can be made to automatically dim itself when the user moves away from it, both helping save a bit of power and improving the security of what’s on the screen. The screen runs at 180 cd/m2 of calibrated brightness and uses 14-bit lookup tables to display 1,024 levels of gray out of a palette of 3,826.
