Optical Bonding

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

Calibrated for ECDIS

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.

ECDIS indicator

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.

Large dimming range for changing light conditions

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.

High contrast and color accuracy from all angles of view

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.

For the sake of the eyes

Flicker free

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.

Anti-glare coating: more image, less reflection

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.

Easy installation

Maintenance-free operation

One monitor, many ports

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

Free positioning

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.

Low power consumption

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

Fan-less solution with low heat output

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.

Slim Design and Light Weight

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. 

Installation to Consoles

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.

Durability

And reliability

Reliable on the high seas

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.

Sustainability

Environmentally and socially conscious production

Sustainable and durable

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.

Environmentally friendly use of materials

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

Socially responsible production

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.

Environmentally and climate friendly

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.

FAQs

To keep your monitor looking like new at all times and to prolong the service life of your device, we recommend cleaning it regularly. Clean the casing and LCD surface as described below:

IMPORTANT: Never use thinner, benzene, alcohol (ethanol, methanol or isopropyl alcohol), scouring agents or other strong solvents as these may damage the casing and the LCD display.

Casing
Remove marks by wiping the casing with a soft cloth, which you have previously moistened with a mild cleaning agent. Never spray wax or cleaning agents directly on to the casing. (The manual contains exact details.)

LCD display
Where necessary, the monitor surface may be cleaned using a soft cloth (for example a cotton cloth or glasses cloth). Stubborn marks can generally be removed by wetting the cloth with a bit of water to increase the cleaning strength.

No, you do not need a driver. The monitors are identified via the signaling line and then installed as a standard or plug & play monitor.

We cannot make a direct recommendation. The output signal should be digital and should support the maximum resolution of the monitor.

Digital signal encryption system as copy protection for digital contents, for example for videos, music, etc. The transmission of digital contents is protected as the contents are encrypted on the transmitter's side, sent via a DVI output and once again decrypted on the recipient's side. Digital contents may not be reproduced if both the transmitter and recipient device do not support HDCP.

Screens have millions of pixels, which each have a surface area of less than a hundredth of a square millimeter. These elements may have defects, which are expressed by them being constantly lit or unlit. Visibility is fundamentally dependent on the surrounding area. For example, lit elements are almost invisible in a bright environment. Each LCD screen is unique in terms of pixel errors.
To give you a clear statement about what frequency of pixel errors EIZO deems tolerable, EIZO screen models are tested according to internationally recognized standards. On average the actual levels are in fact far below the tolerances across all of the devices. LCD modules that do not meet these requirements are not used at EIZO.  Depending on the model, EIZO monitors have a zero pixel error guarantee for completely illuminated sub-pixels (partial pixels ISO 9241-307). Valid: six months from the purchase date.

Warranty

EIZO provides up to a five-year warranty, although some devices have a different warranty period. You can find out the exact warranty periods for each product either in the warranty terms and conditions above, in the datasheet, or on the EIZO international website. The long warranty periods are made possible by a highly developed manufacturing process based on a simple principle of success: sophisticated and innovative monitor technology, manufactured from high-end materials. For you, the 5-year warranty means a high level of investment security and savings on follow-up costs (total cost of ownership), which would be incurred without warranty service, for example, for maintenance and repairs.

  • Innovative service concept from EIZO, which sets standards and meets the trend towards longer depreciation periods. Safety that convinces and you can count on.
  • First-class material and careful processing provide for the extraordinary longevity and make so long guarantee durations possible.
  • Follow-up costs that would be incurred without warranty service, e.g. for maintenance and repairs, are avoided and lead to optimized cost transparency (Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
