MDF2701W DuraVision

In ships and offshore structures, monitors need to be sunlight readable and reliable. The DuraVision MDF2701W is equipped with optical bonding for increased visibility and durability in maritime environments. Optical bonding is a process in which a layer of resin fills the gap between the LCD module and the cover glass of the monitor. This results in increased light transmission from the monitor’s backlight and reduced screen reflection caused by ambient lighting for exceptional visibility. Optical bonding also prevents condensation that causes conventional screens to become foggy in environments with extreme temperature fluctuations. The optical bonding process is carried out in-house at EIZO’s own facilities to ensure high quality production.

With optical bonding, the screen maintains a high level of visibility compared to a monitor without bonding, even if it has higher brightness. According to EIZO's in-house testing, it would require a monitor without optical bonding to have 1160 cd/m² brightness to be comparable in clarity as the DuraVision MDF2701W with bonding, which achieves high clarity at 350 cd/m².

Backlight brightness, gamma, and RGB color settings are calibrated at the factory so the monitor achieves accurate color reproduction for meeting the highly specialized requirements of ECDIS systems. The monitor meets IEC 61174, IEC 62288, and IEC 62388 international standards for ECDIS systems and radar applications.

The ECDIS indicator located on the front of the monitor is lit when the brightness and color settings correctly meet the requirements for ECDIS. In the event the monitor's settings are adjusted such that the brightness is no longer supporting ECDIS standards, the light will automatically turn off.

Suitable for day and night operation: Thanks to the wide dimming range from less than 1 cd/m² to 350 cd/m², the monitor is ideally suited to changing light conditions. This means that the brightness of the monitor can be optimally configured for all ambient lighting and can be used without problems even in dark rooms.

The VA panel with wide viewing angle ensures that the contrast hardly falls when viewing the screen from any angle and there are only minimal differences in color. This means that exact color rendering and clear images can be achieved even in the corners of the screen.

The monitor is flicker-free at every brightness setting. This is great for users, as their eyes will not tire as quickly, allowing them to work in front of the screen for longer periods of time without fatigue.

The surface of the screen has an anti-reflective (AR) coating to reduce the reflection of ambient light on the screen. It also has an anti-fingerprint coating (AF) to minimize residues that occur when touching the screen.

The monitor is equipped with DisplayPort^TM, DVI-D and D-Sub inputs and also has USB- B and RS-232C interfaces for communication and control.

The monitor can be installed and operated horizontally or tilted downwards by up to 30° without affecting performance. This allows it to be mounted flexibly, even in positions above eye level.

The monitor consumes a maximum of just 45 W. This is less than half compared to conventional solutions.

EIZO designed the monitor to prevent heat buildup, negating the need for fans, by implementing a unique, low power consumption design and using cutting-edge thermo-fluid analysis. Proper heat management eliminates the risk of hardware failure or deterioration of internal components due to external air intake from fans, ensuring that the monitor can be used reliably for a long time.

The thin sheet metal used for the monitor's housing and the fanless design allow for a slimmer and lighter weight monitor compared to other products in the same size class. This helps to streamline installation. 

Designed to be installed in maritime consoles and existing systems, the monitor's panel mount structure allows it to be screwed on from the front. The DuraVision MDF2701W's mounting holes match those of EIZO's 25.5-inch DuraVision FDU2603W maritime monitor, making it a safe replacement if a system refresh is needed.

Heat, cold, vibration – the monitor is able to withstand the permanent strains of the maritime environment. It fulfills the IEC 60945 device standard for the fields of the environment and electromagnetic compatibility required for the licensing of maritime equipment. It also boasts an IP65 rating, and is even protected against dust and hose water getting into it. Other properties: A special coating protects the electronics from moisture. 

The monitor meets the requirements for major maritime classifications with approvals for LR (UK), DNV (Norway/Germany), ABS (USA) NK (Japan) and EU RO MR.

Multiple power inputs allow you to power the monitor using either a DC or AC connection, or both in parallel for redundancy.

EIZO grants a three-year warranty. This is possible thanks to the highly developed production process based on a simple principle of success: sophisticated and innovative technology, made from high-end materials.

The MDF2701W is built for 24-hour use and is characterised by maximum reliability.

The MDF2701W is designed to have a long service life and normally outlasts the warranty period by some distance. Replacement parts are available many years after production has ceased. The entire lifecycle takes into account the impact on the environment as the longevity of the product and the fact it can be repaired saves resources and protects the environment. When designing the MDF2701W, we took a minimalistic approach to our resources by using high-quality components and materials, as well as a careful production process.

The monitor's material composition includes recycled plastic to help reuse resources and protect the environment and oceans.

The MDF2701W is produced in a socially responsible way. It is free of child labour and forced labour. Suppliers along the supply chain have been carefully selected and they have also committed themselves to produce in a socially responsible way. This applies in particular to conflict minerals. We present a detailed report about our social responsibility annually and voluntarily.

Each MDF2701W is manufactured in our own factory, which implements an environmental and energy management system in accordance with ISO 14001 und ISO 50001. This includes measures to reduce waste, wastewater and emissions, resource and energy consumption, as well as to encourage environmentally conscious behavior among employees. We publicly report on these measures on an annual basis.
