The EIZO RadiForce MX217 is a 21.3-inch, 2-megapixel colour medical display intended for diagnostic image review and patient-chart viewing in clinical settings. It’s designed to offer a balance of imaging performance, workflow convenience, and sustainability — suited for environments such as radiology, dental, CT/MRI review rooms, diagnostic/consult reporting, etc. It is positioned as the successor to the MX216, improving in several areas (contrast, calibration convenience, etc.).
Technical specifications:
-
Display Colors: Up to 10-bit via DisplayPort (1.07 billion colours) from a larger internal palette (~543-billion) via 13-bit LUT; or 8-bit in other modes.
-
Brightness (typical): up to 500 cd/m²; calibrated variants (e.g. SB) may have lower factory-calibrated brightness for specific use cases (e.g. 240 cd/m²)
-
Contrast Ratio: ~1,800:1
Good fit for:
-
Radiology reporting where both grayscale (X-ray, CT, MRI) and colour images need to be reviewed on one screen (e.g. mixed modality work)
-
Dental clinics (especially SB variant) for charting, radiographs
-
Diagnostic review rooms or PACS viewer stations where image consistency, calibration, greyscale fidelity are important
-
Environments where multiple monitors are used: due to daisy-chain support and ergonomic features
