NEC Display Solutions of America, a leading provider of commercial  LCD  display and projector solutions, announced today that its new 30-inch MultiSync® MD302C6 LCD wide-screen  display received Food and Drug Administration 510(k) market clearance for  diagnostic review applications in healthcare organizations.

The 30-inch color display, NEC’s first  six-megapixel unit, features an IPS panel and
  LED backlight, and is designed to  provide precise grayscale reproduction and wide viewing angles. The monitor’s  16-bit lookup table provides 1,024 levels of gray out of a palette of 4,096,  when using a 10-bit DisplayPort connection.

The MD302C6 monitor includes  out-of-the-box calibration to the DICOM grayscale display function for  luminance.  An integrated front sensor constantly monitors and adjusts brightness to maintain the factory DICOM GSDF  calibration.

The monitor also features dual  DisplayPort and DVI-D inputs, allowing the MD302C6 to function as a drop-in  replacement for dual 3MP color diagnostic displays.

“The MD302C6 brings a powerful six-megapixel  display with LED backlight to healthcare professionals in medical imaging and  multi-modality PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System),” said Art  Marshall, Product Manager of Professional and Medical Displays at NEC Display  Solutions. “The dual 3MP mode also allows this to serve as a dual monitor  replacement with no center bezel distracting the radiologist.”

Also included is NEC’s GammaCompMD™ QA  software, which ensures worry-free calibration and conformance to the DICOM  GSDF standard.  The software ensures  consistent image quality and an easy-to-use QA environment for medical  imaging.  Optionally, GammaComp MD Server  software provides computer networks with centralized control and management of  multiple display systems.

The MD302C6 feature set includes:

• 30-inch IPS panel and 6-megapixel       resolution with wide viewing angles
• 1000:1 contrast ratio and 400 cd/m²       calibrated brightness (800 cd/m² native resolution)
• Dual 3-megapixel replacement       functionality
• Integrated front sensor to maintain       calibration for the life of the display
• Factory calibration to the DICOM       grayscale function for luminance
• 16-bit internal lookup table (LUT),       which provides for more finely detailed, high-definition rendering of       color images and crisper display of even the most delicate shadings
• Integrated two port USB 2.0 hub for easy       connection to peripherals
• Dual DisplayPort and DVI-D inputs for       drop-in dual 3MP replacement
• 150mm height adjustability in landscape       orientation (103mm in portrait), as well as tilt and swivel
• Medical       certifications, including UL60950-1, UL60601-1 and FDA       510(k) clearance
• Restriction on Hazardous Substances       (RoHS) compliant
• Five-year limited warranty with Advanced       Overnight Exchange
