AUTOMATIC BACKLIGHT STABILISATION WITH RE-CALIBRATABLE FRONT 
SENSOR

NEC’s backlight stabilization with front sensor controls and adjusts the luminance 
via an integrated sensor and feedback system, which not only measures, but 
also permanently controls and re-aligns these settings to maintain the factory 
calibration. Any fluctuation in luminance at start-up, due to temperature changes 
or over the display lifetime is corrected in real-time.

Compared to traditional backlight sensors, which only measure the output of 
the backlight, NEC’s front sensor is located in front of the screen and detects 
all instabilities caused by the backlight and the liquid crystal display, because it 
measures the combined effect of both elements.

The state of the art re-calibratable front sensor is traceable to a standards 
laboratory and suitable for constancy tests according to the new IEC62563-1 
Quality Assurance standard.

MATCHED PAIR

The MD211G3 monitors are offered in factory colour matched pairs, displaying 
the same white point and allowing the safe comparison of images on different 
displays.

DIGITAL UNIFORMITY CONTROL (DUC)

The Digital Uniformity Control (DUC) function provides optimum backlight luminance 
uniformity which is considered difficult to attain due to the LCD manufacturing 
process. 

In addition, the NEC patented heat-management concept with airflow parallel to 
the LCD panel, avoids hot spots and results in market exceeding uniformity levels.

TRUE 10-BIT SIMULTANEOUS GRAYSCALE DISPLAY OUT OF 15.5-BIT LUT

MD211G3 can display high-definition medical imaging. The internally programmed 
DICOM GSDF curve optimises the display to human visual performance in 
compliance with the DICOM Part 14 standard, drastically improving the accuracy 
at which images can be interpreted.

NEC MD211G3

Digitalisation has long reached the healthcare sector, with productivity gains 
and the recent move towards a filmless environment (Picture Archiving and 
Communication Systems).

NEC Display Solutions designed a new 3MP high brightness monochrome display 
offering the highest diagnostic image quality for the accurate display of thorax 
X-ray, Computed Radiography (CR) and the new Direct Radiography (DR) images, 
incorporating SA-SFT technology whilst operating with lower glare.

NEC SA-SFT TECHNOLOGY (IPS)

NEC is the only leading medical display brand which is manufacturer of its own 
LCD modules. Backed by years of experience in the research and development of 
medical TFT displays, NEC’s latest SA Super Fine TFT technology offers outstanding 
image quality for conventional X-ray.

An increase in aperture between the electrodes of the basic pixel of 20%, in 
combination with advanced backlight technology, results in market leading 
brightness and contrast ratio values due to a higher transmission than conventional 
super advanced SFT (Super Fine TFT).

AMBIENT LIGHT COMPENSATION

MD211G3 is equipped with an ambient light sensor. The Ambient Light 
Compensation system compensates  the DICOM compliance offset under changing 
lighting conditions by adapting the display contrast level (recalculating the gamma 
curve) to match the ambient light conditions. 

DISPLAYPORT CONNECTIVITY

The VESA digital video interface standard DisplayPort 
offers better image quality with higher bit-depth 
support and higher bandwidth performance, giving 
a particular benefit when manipulating large image 
datasets.

ANTI-GLARE

NEC developed a unique anti-glare coating layer in order to avoid disturbing 
ambient light reflections. Unlike Silica Gel substrate films the NEC Anti-Glare layer 
uses smaller particles (synthetic gel) to control the path of reflected light preventing 
glare.

COMPATIBLE WITH VARIOUS DISPLAY CONTROLLERS

MD211G3 support various input signals for compatibility with a range of Single Link 
or Dual Link display controllers, which allow selection of the controller according to 
budget and performance requirements.

QUICK SCREEN QA

The innovative Quick Screen QA test function 
allows the monitor to display an internal test 
pattern similar to AAPM TG18-QC, without using 
an external signal source. A quick overall visual 
evaluation as well as a DICOM conformance 
measurement done with the front sensor is 
available with this built-in method. 

INNOVATIVE COOLING TECHNOLOGY

To achieve the high brightness, MD211G3 has 16 direct backlights. A unique NEC 
patented heat management concept with airflow parallel to the LCD panel has been 
developed for these higher temperature panels.

ERGONOMIC DESIGN

Dual or Quad Head configurations result in the highest display performance 
because LCD displays obtain their best DICOM conformance and contrast ratio 
when the observer looks perpendicular to the screen. The ultra narrow bezels, 
devoid of buttons and distracting LED lights, enhance viewing comfort in such 
multi-panel environment. The height, tilt and pivot adjustable stand offers wide 
flexibility for positioning of the monitor.

WARRANTY

MD211G3 is offered including 3 years standard warranty. A 5 years or 30,000h, 
whichever comes first, warranty extension is offered as an option. NEC Display 
Solutions Healthcare warranty always includes LCD panel and backlight, as well as 
same service level during the complete warranty period.

GAMMCOMPMD QA / QA-XRAY

 QUALITY ASSURANCE 

MD211G3 can be easily integrated into NEC’s GammaCompMD QA client or 
Network administration software for asset management and (remote) technical 
display management. Automated DICOM conformance checks and calibrations 
using the front sensor result in worry-free DICOM compliance.

The QAXRAY 

TM

 optional module works seamlessly with the GammaCompMD QA 

Client and allows for high-grade Quality Assurance guaranteeing consistent image 
quality across the radiological imaging chain, and is available in several variants. 
QAXRAY 

TM

 offers QA routines for the German QS-RL (DIN V 6868-57 acceptance 

test, constancy test, daily/weekly visual test) and for the new international standard 
IEC62563-1 (acceptance test, constancy test).
