Recommendations for using your display system

1. Optimize the lifetime of your display

Enabling the Display Power Management System (DPMS) of your display (in the display’s Settings menu) will optimize its diagnostic lifetime by automatically switching off the backlight when the display is not used for a specified period of time. By default, DPMS is enabled on your display, but it also needs to be activated on your workstation. To do this, go to “Power Options Properties” in the “Control Panel”.

Barco recommends setting DPMS activation after 20 minutes of non-usage.

2. Use a screen saver to avoid image retention

Prolonged operation of an LCD with the same content on the same screen area may result in a form of image retention.

You can avoid or significantly reduce the occurrence of this phenomenon by using a screen saver. You can activate a screen saver in the “Display properties” window of your workstation.

Barco recommends setting screen saver activation after 5 minutes of non-usage. A good screen saver displays moving content.

In case you are working with the same image or an application with static image elements for several hours continuously (so that the screen saver is not activated), change the image content regularly to avoid image retention of the static elements.

3. Understand pixel technology

LCD displays use technology based on pixels. As a normal tolerance in the manufacturing of the LCD, a limited number of these pixels may remain either dark or permanently lit, without affecting the diagnostic performance of the product. To ensure optimal product quality, Barco applies strict selection criteria for its LCD panels.

To learn more about LCD technology and missing pixels, consult the dedicated white paper available at www.barcomedical.com.

Recommendations for using your display system

4. Enhance user comfort

Every Barco multi-head display system is color matched with the highest specification in the market.

Barco recommends keeping color-matched displays together. Furthermore, it is important to use all displays of a multi-head configuration at the same rate to preserve color matching throughout the economic lifetime of the system.

5. Maximize Quality Assurance

The ‘MediCal QAWeb’ system offers online service for high-grade Quality Assurance, providing maximum diagnostic confidence and uptime.

Introduction

Thank you for choosing Barco.

Single display or complete system?

This manual describes installation and usage of a complete N system. A N

IO system is a bundling of one or more displays and

one or more display controllers.

However, if you have purchased the display only instead of a N system, please refer to the chapters in this manual covering the display, and disregard the information about the display controller or N

IOWATCH software.

The displays

The E-2620 (S) is a 19.8-inch grayscale LCD display with a native resolution of 1600 x 1200.

The E-3620 is a 20.8-inch grayscale LCD display with a native resolution of 2048 x 1536.

Their high-brightness, combined with image crispness and excellent viewing angle, makes them ideal for a multitude of medical applications and environments.

Long-term stabilization

The displays contain a Backlight Output Stabilization system

(BLOS

), which continuously stabilizes the luminance output of the LCD’s backlight. This improves the overall optical efficiency and provides long-term image confidence.

NioWatch

In N

IO systems, the display comes standard with NIOWATCH, a

user-friendly software tool that optimizes the LCD panel for DICOM-compliant viewing.

Nio® medical display systems 21

Introduction

Power saving

The displays are equipped with a power saving system. When left idle for a certain time, the computer connected to the display, will power down the display.

The power saving system can be switched on or off using the onscreen menus.

Tilt & swivel base

The versatile tilt & swivel foot allows to use the display for viewing portrait or landscape image resolutions.

The user can easily change the panel height and viewing angle, allowing to use the display in the optimal viewing conditions.
