| What is the advantage of a digital flat panel over an analog flat panel? |
| Digital displays do not require any adjustments. The input signal from the PC or workstation is digital and does not require any conversion to interface with the digital electronics inside the panel. This also allows for a clearer image. Analog displays require many adjustments and will often create pixel noise due to sampling and phase lock loop (PLL) noise. PLL is used for synchronization with external timing pulses. |
| What are the screen sizes for the 1.3M, 2M, 3M and 5M pixel flat panels? |
-
The 1.3 Mega is 18.1 inches.
- The 2.0 Mega is 20.1 or 21.3 inches.
- The 3.0 Mega is 20.8 inches.
- The 5.0 Mega is 21.3 inches.
|
| What is the resolution for the 1.3M, 2M, 3M and 5M flat panels? |
-
The 1.3 M display Native resolution is 1280x1024.
-
The 2.0 M display Native resulution is 1600x1200.
-
The 1.3M and 2 M displays are multimode and can therefore support resolution from VGA (Video Graphics Arrays) to their Native resolution.
-
The 3M display Native resolution is 2000x1500.
-
The 5M display Native resolution is 2560x2048.

| What is the brightness of the 1.3M, 2M, 3M and 5M flat panels? |
- The ME181L 1.3 Mega Monochrome brightness is 800 cd/m2.
- The ME203L 2.0 Mega Monochrome brightness is 800 cd/m2.
- The ME213L 2.0 Mega Monochrome brightness is 1500 cd/m2.
- The ME315L 3.0 Mega Monochrome display brightness is 800 cd/m2.
- The ME511L 5.0 Mega Monochrome display brightness is 750 cd/m2.
- The CCL182 1.3 Mega Color brightness is 250 cd/m2.
- The CCL202 2.0 Mega Color brightness is 250 cd/m2.
- The CCL212 2.0 Mega Color brightness is 450 cd/m2.
- The CCL316 3.0 Mega Color brightness is 250 cd/m2.

| Why do the displays need calibration? |
| In medical imaging displays, the DICOM standard must be maintained so that two or more displays used at a workstation possess the same exact image characteristics. In order to achieve this, a calibration technique must be developed in the display or graphics driver board. The calibration kit consists of a photo sensor, Medivisor or Procalix calibration software, instructions, and test patterns. |
| How often do the displays need to be calibrated? |
| In theory, once the displays are calibrated they will not require any further re-calibration. However, we recommend they be re-calibrated once a year. Many PACS administrators prefer a more frequent maintenance schedule. |
| What does dual mode mean? |
| The applications where two displays are set up side by side and simultaneously show identical or different images depending on the application. Two displays require a single driver board per workstation. |
| Do the panels come with a protective filter? |
| Our most frequently used products, such as the 2M and 3M flat panels, come with a filter.
The panels can be ordered without the protective filter but it is not recommended. Many doctors frequently touch the screens with pencils or other sharp impliments which can cause damage. |
| What is a backlight? |
| A backlight is a Cold Cathode (CC) light emitting device. The number of fluorescent light bulbs in the backlight depend on the size of the LCD panel. The light is diffused by the diffuser panel that is placed behind the LCD. |
| What is the viewing angle? |
| The viewing angle is 170 degrees horizontal and vertical. |
