4K UHD Resolution and High Brightness
The monitor uses an energy-efficient LED backlight with a high brightness of 850 cd/m². The high resolution of 3840 x 2160 is four times the size of full HD and faithfully reproduces 4K endoscope and operating microscope images in Ultra High Definition.
Wide Color Gamut for Distinguishing Tones
During procedures, the operating surgeon needs to be able to differentiate between varying color tones. The monitor supports the BT.2020 4K video color standard to ensure that subtle differences between shades of reds and yellows captured by BT.2020-supported cameras are distinguishable on the screen.
HDR Compatibility
HDR (High Dynamic Range) is a range that approximates the human perception of color and light as content is shown on a display device. The monitor is equipped with the perceptual quantization (PQ) curve and hybrid log-gamma (HLG) for supporting HDR. This ensures images from HDR-supported endoscope cameras are displayed without crushing blacks and more closely resemble the human visual system.
Fully Flat Design
Operating rooms contain various medical devices that are arranged according to the type of surgery. Safe handling and a sterile environment play a major role. EIZO's surgical monitors adopt a flat design with rounded corners that promotes a safe environment and easy cleaning and disinfection. Furthermore, the front is covered with a fully flat protective glass with IP45 for protection against foreign material and splashes (the whole monitor has an IP32 rating).
Cable Cover for Safety and Hygiene
With the attached cable cover, cables can be stored neatly out of sight, increasing safety and hygiene.
High Durability
The monitor has protective glass with a hardness of 9H, making it resistant to impacts. Furthermore, the monitor is equipped with optical bonding, which removes the layer of air between the LCD panel and glass. This ensures foreign materials such as dust and moisture cannot damage the LCD panel.
Reduced Reflections
Reflections on the screen of LCD monitors are caused when external light hits the screen and reflects off of the protective glass and layer of air at different refractive indices. Optical bonding removes the layer of air in order to lower the difference of refractive indices. This softens the reflections and produces a clear, highly visible image without affecting contrast.
Condensation Prevention
Optical bonding prevents condensation from forming between the LCD panel and protective glass. This allows the monitor to maintain high visibility in harsh environments.
