PX3150

In pathological diagnostics, even slight color differences can influence the assessment of tissue and cell structures. To ensure precise color reproduction right from the very first use, every single monitor is calibrated at the EIZO factory. The color space and gamma are calibrated with such precision that the sRGB color space is reproduced faithfully. This makes the monitor a reliable visual reference for evaluating digitized specimens.

In digital pathology, continuous quality assurance is of great importance, as consistent color representation supports accurate interpretation in virtual microscopy. Using the separately available EIZO “RadiCS” software for monitor quality control, color accuracy is evaluated using reference color patches, and calibration is performed in accordance with the sRGB standard.

Designed specifically for digital pathology, this monitor sets new standards in color precision: Using the ΔE2000 standard metric, the monitor precisely verifies the match between displayed colors and their reference values. By consistently maximizing color precision, the monitor helps preserve subtle gradations in digitally scanned tissue sections for precise visual assessment.

The colors on a monitor change over time, which is why regular recalibration is essential to ensure consistency. The sensor built into the monitor frame allows you to perform color accuracy checks and calibrations without the need for an external measuring device. With RadiCS, routine quality checks can be automatically scheduled – for example, overnight – and carried out outside of operating hours. This enables continuous quality management without interrupting daily workflows.

The PX3150 meets Class A requirements under the European In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices Regulation (IVDR) and has received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use as a display for digital pathology. Compliance with these international standards attests to the monitor’s reliable image reproduction, as it was specifically developed for diagnostic applications in pathology.

Thanks to the high 8 Megapixels (colour) resolution, a strong contrast ratio of 1800:1 and stable brightness of up to 550 cd/m², the monitor offers excellent image quality. Even the differences between the finest details are shown – regardless of your viewing angle. This is a great advantage if multiple physicians are looking at the screen.

A high resolution of 4096 x 2160 (4K DCI) – which offers a larger display area than conventional 4K monitors (3840 x 2160) – combined with a large 30,5-inch screen provides a generous viewing area that displays more than four times the information of Full HD. Whole Slide Images (WSI) and, in particular, areas relevant to the diagnosis can be viewed with a high level of detail.

LCD panels with a high brightness level tend to have more blurry image rendering thanks to over-framing than would be possible in comparison with an acquired exposure. Therefore, EIZO offers blur reduction anchored in monitor hardware. It retrieves details lost in the contours on the screen, meaning that the image is rendered as clearly as possible.

The monitor shines thanks to its high color purity and uniform illumination. This is down to the Digital Uniformity Equalizer (DUE), which corrects imbalances automatically, pixel by pixel. Gray and color tones of medical images are correctly rendered over the entire display. This is essential for precise image reproduction.

A sensor for the backlight permanently determines the luminance of the monitor. The benefit: The defined and calibrated values are rendered exactly just seconds after the monitor is turned on and remain constant during the entire period of use. The sensor is invisibly integrated in the monitor.

The color rendering is controlled via a 13-bit Look-Up-Table (LUT). With DisplayPort and USB-C connections, up to 10 bits are available for the display. This results in a resolution with a maximum of 1 billion color tones. The rendering characteristic and fine structures required for diagnostics can therefore be precisely identified.

Video playback, fast data transfer including network signal as well as power supply for connected devices, all this and more can be realised with a single USB-C cable. The PX3150 becomes the central docking station to which you can quickly and conveniently connect your notebook. Particularly practical if you use a notebook for the teleradiology or telepathology home office.

The 94 W power supply via USB-C reliably charges small computers or notebooks. This creates more space on the desk, because an additional computer power supply unit becomes superfluous.

USB-C: What’s behind it? In the EIZO Academy, we provide a detailed overview of this connector standard.

The monitor’s USB-C ports enable multiple monitors to be connected to the computer via a single cable (using the daisy chain method). This allows for a hassle-free configuration of up to two screens and reduces cable clutter. Being able to view and edit several applications simultaneously also improves comfort and increases efficiency when working.

Did you know, computers and monitors with a DisplayPort connection can also be connected to USB-C? The right cable for this from our optional accessories is called CP200.

USB-C daisy chain compatibility of the PX3150.

The monitor has a dedicated LAN port to ensure a stable wired network connection. Laptops and PCs require only one USB-C cable to be connected to the PX3150 to gain network access via the monitor. This is particularly advantageous for laptops that do not have a LAN connection and allows stable data transfer, which is required for video conferences, for example.

It couldn't be easier: Most end devices, such as PC, laptop, mouse or keyboard, can be connected directly to the monitor, thanks to its wide range of signal interfaces and ports. This makes your daily work easier and ensures a tidy desk.

The Work and Flow functions provide innovative support for pathological diagnostics and enable efficient, structured workflows. Of particular note is the “Point and Focus” feature, which simplifies diagnostic processes and supports targeted diagnostics. In addition, the “Hide and Seek” feature allows for the temporary display of PIS/LIS data on the main screen, ensuring quick access to relevant information – a real asset in everyday work.

Point-and-Focus: all eyes on the analysis

The Point-and-Focus function allows you to select and focus on relevant image areas quickly using your mouse or keyboard. By adjusting the brightness and greyscale, the interesting parts of an image are highlighted by dimming the surrounding areas.

Hide-and-Seek: fast retrieval of information

Hide-and-Seek adds the benefit of making it possible to access reports, patient files and other information on the display quickly and efficiently without needing an additional monitor. When you move your cursor towards or away from the edge of the screen, a PinP window hides and displays information.

Switch-and-Go: just one keyboard and mouse for two systems

Switch-and-Go makes it possible to work using just one keyboard and mouse at diagnostic imaging stations that make use of two computers. You can switch between the two systems simply by moving your cursor from one screen to the other. This ensures greater work efficiency and allows you to maintain a clear overview of your workstation.

A housing with rounded corners and elegant curves on the back presents a soft aesthetic and creates a pleasant impression.

Ergonomic and stable: the adjustable stand focuses on ergonomics. You can swivel and tilt the monitor stand until you find the most comfortable setting for your back, neck and sitting posture. It features continuous height adjustment and can be lowered almost to the base plate of the stand, enabling you to position the top image line ergonomically right below your eye level.

The PX3150 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 PX3150, we took a minimalistic approach to our resources by using high-quality components and materials, as well as a careful production process.

The PX3150 consists of approximately 70 % recycled plastic. This reduces the amount of plastic waste entering the environment, conserves resources and promotes the reuse of materials to preserve natural ecosystems.

For the packaging of the PX3150, EIZO uses a padding made of moulded pulp cellulose. The material is made from recycled cardboard and paper and has a much lower environmental impact when disposed of than traditional polystyrene or plastic. All cables are stored in a cardboard compartment instead of being individually packed in plastic bags.

The PX3150 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 PX3150 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.
