The Marine PC MIL-Spec Monitor (MPC-MLR) is a ruggedized marine grade LCD Display
for use with a conventional RGB computer input. It is designed to operate under
the most extreme environments found in high performance vessels such as public
safety, government and military marine craft, as well as submarine vessels. The
ruggedized displays are capable of operating in environments that include extended
temperatures, extreme shock and vibration, direct exposure to salt water and other
environmental conditions.

watertight, with fully sealed, military grade connectors. Front-mounted controls and
various mounting options makes the MPC-MLR user-friendly.

You will soon become familiar with the quality difference in this bright sunlight-read­able Display (MIL-L-85762A, MIL-PRF-22885G compliant). The MPC-MLR incorporates
the latest optical engineering to achieve optimal viewability in all lighting conditions.

Engineered to operate on low power consumption, the MPC-MLR manages a RGB/VGA
(computer) video input signal. The MPC-MLR may be equipped with optional Analog

screen as well.
