On ships and offshore installations, monitors must be easy to read and reliable in darkness and daylight. The DuraVision MDF2701W is equipped with optical bonding to increase visibility and robustness in maritime environments.

With optical bonding, a layer of resin fills the gap between the LCD module and the cover glass of the monitor. This increases the light transmission for the screen's backlight and reduces reflections from ambient light and loss of contrast, resulting in excellent readability. This bonding also prevents condensation in environments with extreme temperature fluctuations, which leads to fogging on conventional screens. The optical bonding process is carried out in EIZO's own production facilities to ensure high quality.

The brightness, gamma and RGB color settings of the 27" Full HD screen are calibrated at the factory to ensure the accurate color reproduction required for ECDIS (Electronic Chart Display and Information System). The monitor is certified according to the international standards IEC 61174, IEC 6288 and IEC 62388 for ECDIS and radar applications. It is suitable for use in harsh maritime environments and meets the conditions for temperature, humidity and vibration specified in the international standard IEC 60945 for maritime navigation and radio communication equipment and systems.

EIZO has designed the MDF2701W to prevent heat build-up and eliminate the need for fans. This includes low power consumption and a unique design based on advanced thermal fluid analysis. Proper thermal management avoids the risk of hardware failure or degradation of internal components due to external airflow from fans, allowing the monitor to be used reliably over a long period of time.

Although fanless, the DuraVision MDF2701W can be installed and operated horizontally or tilted downwards by up to 30°. This allows flexible mounting, even in positions above eye level. The panel-mount structure also allows front mounting for conveniently simple installation in consoles and existing systems.

Delivery of the DuraVision MDF2701W will begin at the end of January 2025.
