Codenamed MD242C2, the model is housed in a case of a rather strict design, featuring 556.8x227.6x378-528 mm dimensions. Upon the whole, this monitor positions itself as the most appropriate solution for medical establishments, providing for an accurate imaging.



Monitor NEC MD242C2 is based on IPS array with LED backlit and 12 ms response time (8 ms in Gray-to-Gray mode). Its operational resolution equals to 1920x1200 pixels, while the display aspect ratio makes up 16:10. Viewing angles, both vertical and horizontal, equal to 178 degrees, brightness achieves 350 cd/m2 and static contrast is estimated as 1000:1. NEC employs 14-bit look-up tables (LUT) to ensure proper color output and more accurate display of gray hues in blackened areas.

Thus, the latest Radeon RX 550 Pulse features 640 SP instead of 512 as in case with typical samples. The ultimate GPU clock reaches 1,071 MHz.

 

The storage subsystem may be represented by 2 GB or 4 GB of GDDR5 memory with the 128-bit bus and the 6 GHz effective frequency. The graphics adapter is chilled by a relatively small cooler, supplied with an aluminum heatsink and the 90 mm fan. Image output is conducted via the DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.0 and DVI-D ports.
