NEC MultiSync® MD212MC 
21.3” high-bright 2MP color LCD display  
ideal for color and grayscale medical imaging applications
Designed exclusively for the demanding needs of medical imaging 
and PACS, the NEC MultiSync MD212MC, a 21.3” 2-Megapixel (MP) 
color display, features the flexibility of a color display with image 
performance rivaling grayscale displays. Benefits you’ll realize from 
this medically certified display include:
• NEC’s UA-SFT liquid crystal technology offers high brightness 
  without compromising contrast or viewing angles, making the 
  image quality outstanding for color or grayscale images
• ColorComp™ digital uniformity correction reduces screen uniform- 
  mity errors and compensates for differences in color/grayscale and 
  luminance across the entire screen 
• Integrated tri-stimulus (three-color) sensor receives more light  
  information than standard (brightness only) sensors and, therefore, 
  is extremely accurate and stable
• Each NEC MultiSync MD212MC monitor comes calibrated out of 
  the box to the DICOM grayscale display function for luminance  
• 12-bit RGB lookup tables (LUTs) for gamma provide for more 
  finely detailed, high-definition rendering of color images and 
  crisper display of even the most delicate shadings and color  
  differences 
• GammaComp™ MD software, included with each display, ensures 
  consistent image quality. The software provides a simple interface  
  for conformance to the DICOM standard, while providing an easy  to-use QA environment for medical imaging. Optionally, Gamma- 
  Comp MD Administrator provides computer networks with central  ized control and management of multiple display systems.

nature, LCD panels contain uniformity errors, which are 
visible as slightly brighter or darker areas on the screen. 
To combat this inherent trait, each MultiSync MD212MC 
display is individually characterized during production 
using a fully automated system that measures multiple 
points across the screen at different gray levels. These 
measurements are used to build a 3-D correction matrix 
stored inside the display. This data is used to compensate for the uniformity not only as a function of position 
on the screen but of gray level as well. In turn, this technology, called ColorComp, reduces the non-uniformity 
to virtually unnoticeable levels and applies a digital 
correction to each pixel on the screen to compensate for 
differences in color and luminance.
Ambient 
light
For optimal image viewing in any lighting condition, the MD212MC’s built-in ambient light sensor 
can automatically adjust the calibration of the 
display to suit the environment.
For non-assisted conformance, 
calibration and reporting 
functions, a built-in remote 
sensor is capable of measuring 
monitor brightness, whitepoint 
and ambient lighting, while 
performing a quality check 
for DICOM conformance and 
contrast response.
