1.1. Introduction
The MFGD 1318, BARCOs 18 1 megapixel grayscale LCD display,
guarantees perfect image quality in medical imaging applications.
The display combines a TFT (thin film transistor) liquid crystal display
panel structure and a built-in backlight with inverter for a better picture
quality. It is designed to meet the users needs for performance,
consistency, and outstanding image quality through a streamlined
development process.
If the Portrait Accelerator option is installed, the display can be used
in portrait or landscape version, simply by turning the panel. The tilt &
swivel foot allows ideal positioning of the panel, in height and viewing
angle.
The panel can be adjusted by means of a control wheel on the
display.
