MDF2701W-T 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 readability even when compared to a brighter monitor without bonding. According to internal tests conducted by EIZO using the MDF2701W model (without a touch surface), a monitor without bonding would need to have a brightness of 1160 cd/m² to achieve comparable readability to that of the DuraVision MDF2701W, which, thanks to bonding, achieves this at just 350 cd/m². This is particularly beneficial when using the monitor in daylight conditions.

At its main plant in Ishikawa, Japan, EIZO has established a state-of-the-art production line for optical bonding. This facility ensures high-quality and efficient manufacturing and enables the company to respond flexibly and promptly to specific market requirements and demanding operating conditions.

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 0.05 cd/m² to 340 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, Touch PCAP 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 DuraVision MDF2701W-T is equipped with a particularly robust and reliable projective capacitive touch technology. The monitor allows operation with the finger or a special stylus.

The monitor can process up to ten touches simultaneously, enabling intuitive operation. The touchscreen is also equipped with palm rejection technology. While writing, users can rest their hands or arms on the monitor without accidentally triggering an input.

The display extends right up to the bezels – this means that the entire touch surface can be used without disruptions right up to the edges, which is particularly convenient for swiping and scrolling motions.

To prevent unintended touch input in the case of any liquid spillage on the screen, EIZO includes a function that detects spills. Once detected, the monitor will automatically disable touch functionality and re-enable it when the spill has been cleaned.

The DuraVision MDF2701W-T's surface is coated with a fingerprint-resistant finish that minimizes the visibility of fingerprints left on the screen from touch interaction.

The multitouch interface is supported by standard Windows 11 and 10 drivers. You can operate the touch panel without additional drivers by simply connecting the USB cable.
In addition to the Windows touch drivers, a dedicated touch driver is also available that supports touch interaction sounds and multi-monitor configuration.

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-T'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 is approved and certified by major maritime classifications, such as DNV (Germany / Norway), LR (UK), ABS (USA), NK (Japan), and EU RO MR to meet IMO (International Maritime Organization) regulations.

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

The MDF2701W-T is designed for a long service life that takes into account the entire lifecycle and impact on the environment. It is generally well above the five-year guarantee. Spare parts are available up to five years after the end of production. The monitor’s long service life and the ability to repair it save resources and the climate. When designing the MDF2701W-T we paid attention to reducing resource consumption by using high-quality components and materials and being meticulous in production.

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